What is it about?
Graphene is one the new "wonder materials" in nanotechnology. However, researchers still struggle to understand how to use graphene in real-life applications. Here, we analyze the correlation between the structure of graphene samples and properties. This work enables the rational design of graphene-based materials in several application domains, from electronics to energy, environment, health and others.

Why is it important?
Our research highlights the tight relationship between structural details and properties of graphene samples. Understanding this relationship is key to design and fabricate graphene-based materials to be used in applications for electronics, energy, sensors, and several others.
Perspectives
This work opens new perspectives to the rational design of nanostructured graphene-based materials for applications. The research paradigm applied relies on virtual/digitalized models of real systems, and can be extended to several other application scenarios.
