Pillared graphene
open-in-new
<p>Pillared graphene is a hybrid <a href="/facts/Carbon/ukrgQexo">carbon</a>, structure consisting of an oriented array of <a href="/facts/Carbon_nanotubes/atuDPPaG">carbon nanotubes</a> connected at each end to a sheet of <a href="/facts/Graphene/QDGUBaPt">graphene</a>. It was first described theoretically by George Froudakis and colleagues of the <a href="/facts/University_of_Crete/pNpP78ju">University of Crete</a> in <a href="/facts/Greece/lqHw8bTB">Greece</a> in 2008. Pillared graphene has not yet been synthesised in the laboratory, but it has been suggested that it may have useful electronic properties, or as a hydrogen storage material. </p>
