Graphene is the thinnest material known to man and is arranged in a hexagonal lattice.  At one atom thick Graphene is about 200 times stronger than steel. It is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and has very unique light absorption abilities.

Carbon nanostructures, a product of the graphene process, can be utilized as a cost effective additive to the manufacturing process of various products as a strengthening agent to improve durability and cure times of concrete, asphalt and other building materials.

Graphite is the most commonly used to serve as the anode material in lithium-ion battery manufacturing due to its relatively low-cost and its energy density. Graphite has great conductive properties and for the most part is readily available.
