Andre geim y konstantin novoselov biography

Single-layer graphene was first unambiguously produced and identified in 2004, by the group of Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, though they credit Hanns-Peter Boehm and his co-workers for the experimental discovery of graphene in 1962; while it had been explored theoretically by P.

R. Wallace in 1947.^[1][2] Boehm et al. introduced the term graphene in 1986.^[3][4]

Early history

In 1859, Benjamin Collins Brodie became aware of the highly lamellar structure of thermally reduced graphite oxide.^[5][6]

The structure of graphite was identified in 1916^[7] by the related method of powder diffraction.^[8] It was studied in detail by Kohlschütter and Haenni in 1918, who described the properties of graphite oxide paper.^[9] Its structure was determined from single-crystal diffraction in 1924.^[10]

The theory of graphene was first explored by P.
