Abstract：Graphene is a novel material with a number of unique properties, which is a single layer of carbon packed in a hexagonal lattice. Graphene exhibits relativistic Dirac electrons properties for the electronic structure, and that is different from usual three-dimensional materials. Graphene is the most ideal two-dimensional electron gas system in all available materials, which makes it interesting for both fundamental studies and future applications. The structure, properties, preparation methods and future applications of graphene are reviewed, and the potential applications in metrology are discussed.
