hapter 6 covers two-dimensional defects, including grain boundaries, phase boundaries, and surfaces. Threedimensional defects, including inclusions and pores, typically due to the formation of a second phase, are also covered. The tendency of a secondary phase to form at grain-boundary junctions is explained in terms of surface and interfacial energies. Stylistically, the book is highly organized and logically sequenced. The author favors short passages and lists of key concepts. Then, the eight essential features of edge dislocations—the definition, the relative positions of its Burgers and sense vectors, and its response to stress—are given in a list in its subsection. The most significant concepts are depicted in plain schematic

he English version of this book is an update to the Chinese version published in 2011. A wide range of books on graphene dealing with fundamentals to more advanced levels have appeared in the market after the award of the Nobel Prize to A. Geim and K.S. Novoselov. Some of those books focus on either science or technology, but this one concentrates on materials science and engineering, giving a comprehensive review of the subject. The first chapter discusses the basic structure and properties of graphene. It contains short descriptions of carbon allotropes, with a historical account of the discovery of graphene, which is followed by illustrations on the structure and properties of graphene. Chapter 2 limits the discussions to the physical properties of graphene, such as refraction, thermal, and electrical conductivities, and introduces graphene structural information as

derived from optical microscopy, electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Chapter 3 covers multidimensional assemblies of graphene, with a predominant focus on oxides. It then discusses one-dimensional (1D), 2D, and 3D structural materials, large-scale synthesis of graphene films, template-directed methods, graphene-based macrostructures, and chemical and electrochemical reduction of graphene oxides. Chapter 4 depicts electronic, optical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of graphene. Chapter 5 describes electronic devices, including solar cells and photodetectors. Chapters 6 and 7 orient the reader to graphene-based sensors and flexible energy-storage devices. The advantages of graphene for gas sensing are well discussed; however, the literature coverage is not exhaustive. Chapter 8 covers graphene composites made with either
line drawings; there are very few images of actual materials. This is a good advanced treatment of the relationships between structures and defects. The bibliography lists 76 books and journal articles ranging from 1953 to 2015, and includes many classic materials science and engineering textbooks on thermodynamics, ceramics, and crystal s
