User:Ziyu 'Kevin' Zhang/Potential applications of graphene

This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.

If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live.

If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here.

Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content.

Article Draft

Lead

There is now a new method of making graphene out of gum trees that can lower the cost to up to $0.50 per gram as of 2019 ^[1]

Article body

Biosensors- Graphene based FRET biosensors can detect DNA and the unwinding of DNA using different probes ^[2]

Solar Cells- Graphene has been used on different substrates such as Si, CdS and CdSe to produce Schottky junction solar cells. Through the properties of graphene, such as graphene's work function, solar cell efficiency can be optimized. An advantage of graphene electrodes is the ability to produce inexpensive Schottky junction solar cells.^[3]
