  I am the one asked about graphene.Thanks for posting a discussion.I made a quick survey and here are my answers.
  
  1)graphene is an allotrope of carbon family having a hexagonal pattern and honeycomb lattice.
  2)It was mainly used on electronics as the eorking temperature may be reduced by 26% as it has high heat dissipating capacity.(extends working life of electronic goods)
  3)applications:
  #-Link-Snipped-# electronics
  #-Link-Snipped-# electronics
  @computers
  @LED
  @radio
  4) In lithium ion battery ribbons of graphene that used as carbon nanotubes.
  
  Major role to be played by graphene in Automobile/Aeronautical industry:Compared to steel graphene is 6times lighter,5times lower density,2times harder ,10 times tensiler,13 times bending rigidity.
  
  The future of body works is here......

  Graphene is a hydrocarbon of marvellous potential I would say it's hexagonal nature always is a marvel Just like it's counterpart Benzene
  
  This graphene has better Conductivity than other semiconductors that is an added advantage when we design a graphene device

  - Graphene, Strongest material ever tested : 200 times greater than steel.
  
  - Graphene added to the epoxy material results in stronger components, thus with low weight & high strength property it can be used in Windmills & Aircraft components.
  
  - OLED uses Indium electrodes, replacing Indium electrodes with Graphene gives the same property but with reduced cost & less power consumption.
  
  - The drawback of hydrogen fueled cars is that the tank required huge tank to store the H2 gas. The graphene layers has been developed which can bind more amount of hydrogen on graphene surface of the storage tank. Thus, the hope of hydrogen fueled car's drawback is possible to eradictae in the near future.
