It is really quite simple to explain. (After all, Einstein said that if you can’t explain it simply then you don’t really understand it.) The simple explanation is that I copied and pasted that out of wiki a couple of years ago and have kept it around for whenever graphene comes up. Now you know as much about it as I do.

What is the best way to invest in graphene? Seems like the next big wave.

Re: “Where do these replacement electrons come from?”

My first question, too.

If they come from nearby carbon atoms, why doesn’t that electron loss cause a Coulomb explosion in the donor atoms?

Yes, really. Chinese batteries for toys doesn’t move it out of the dud category.

Compared to the thousands of breathless research articles over the years, it isn’t much.

According to this guy who did a teardown the batteries are a scam. The cells are made by A123, and nothing says battery scam like A123.

GPHOF over the counter - trading at 7.1 cents/share today. Highly speculative!

Wow! Sounds to me like they’re close to having the technology for making nano-electric-chairs for executing rogue viruses!

” I’ve always wondered, even with photoelectrics: The photon drives off electrons to generate a current, but the silicon remains. HOW? Where do the “new” electrons come from?”

the electrons move in a closed circle called a circuit, with the photovoltaic effect providing the energy to excite the electrons to move in the closed circuit. no electrons are gained or lost, they are simply impelled to move in a circle, which by definition is a current.

I found that presentation to be wonderfully bouffant.

Robert has a lot more videos about graphene on his youtube channel. He also has developed and ran tests of graphene composite materials that do a good job of stopping rifle bullets that might be of interest.

Huge currents on the nano scale

Like "jumbo shrimp", I suppose. Huge currents on the 0.000000001 scale. Well, impressive, on a pico scale.

Writers are weird.

I was knocked off my feet trying to decipher the complexity of your graphene description. Now I know how receptionists felt when I explained building data rooms, and interconnecting servers with routers and getting all their computers to interact. Now that you explained the magic, some of the awe factor is gone... but maybe I can use your explanation to awe some others... (Just kidding. You really had me going there.)
