Graphene is a single two-dimensional (2D) atomic layer of hexagonally packed carbon atoms. In field of material science all have vast interest on graphene for its numerous unique mechanical, chemical, electronic, optical and thermal properties. It has been observed that with increasing number of layers graphene show many interesting properties. In this article, we briefly discuss the structures, some properties and applications of monolayer, bilayer and trilayer graphene.
