Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) material with over 100-fold anisotropy of heat flow between the in-plane and out-of-plane directions. High in-plane thermal conductivity is due to covalent sp2 bonding between carbon atoms, whereas…
Graphene, in addition to its unique electronic and optical properties, revealed unusually high thermal conductivity. The fact that thermal conductivity of large enough graphene sheets should be higher than that of basal planes of bulk…
