The theory of graphene was itself first explored in 1947 by PR Wallace, work that is now widely recognised as the starting point behind the understanding of the electronic properties of 3D graphite. A crystalline allotrope of carbon with two-dimensional properties, high-quality graphene was a long sought after commodity due to its properties which make it strong, light and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity.
