Out of graphene and graphite , which one shows high electrical conductivity and why????

OpenStudy (jfraser):

My guess is graphene, due to the delocalized electron pairs, see the article for more info http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/07/090729210454.htm

graphene as reason stated by JFraser :) and also i get some news dat if we made battery of graphene and charge it only once it can work throught out 1mnth approx widout charging it again..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i have a ques the pencile lead is madeup of graphine can we generate electricity from that??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know there is some inpurities too as lead is also present but can we??

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

but iam not satisfied with ur answer as graphene also contains free pie electrons and also graphite also contains free pie electrons bot are almost same structure what makes graphene to show more conductivity then graphite!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because graphene as said that it is the single layer of graphite and it is not said more conductive than graphite but due to graphine is single layer of graphite itslef we can convert it and now as far i heard the process is going on to make batteries while graphite is large as compare to graphine and so many problems are also coming so.. may be thats why.. they didnt try to touch graphite..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

graphene is saying conductive with respect to other material which are till used to make batteries like lithium..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

graphene is more conductive than graphite.....It has only single layer and free electrons available in plnty as there is no other planes to bond with
