Graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in two-dimensional hexagonal lattice. This research set up model of graphene with heat source and sinks to visualize the movement of carbon atoms. Moreover, molecular dynamics simulations were tools to study the thermal conductivity of graphene and other properties of a material. The result shows that the thermal conductivity of graphene in the room temperature is relatively high among the existing materials. Various possibilities for its application will be briefly discussed, mainly focused on heat spreading materials. At last, there will be a discussion about graphene’s future development.
