Graphene make light work - a boon for optoelectronic applications of graphene

Graphene (Ms. G, as I call it QUEEN of 2D materials :-) ) , since 2004, has demonstrated her acrobatism with number of applications in various fields viz. transparent and flexible electronics, touch screens etc. Now, graphene has been demonstrated as a infrared photodetector which can convert light signals to electrical signals. This makes graphene the leading material so far which can be used for electrical as well as optical applications.
