Abstract

Graphene, an atomically thin 2D nanomaterial, has gained special interest in biomolecular electronics over the past few years mainly due to its remarkable biocompatibility and excellent electrical properties. The graphene charge carriers exhibit high mobility and behave like ‘massless’ Dirac-Fermions. A single layer of graphene typically depicts an ambipolar electric field effect. This chapter focuses on the unique properties of graphene followed by a discussion on various routes of graphene synthesis. The chapter also contains details of the various intermolecular interactions between biomolecules and graphene involved for technological development of nano-bioelectronic functional devices and tissue-engineered constructs.
