← ScienceWhich outcome weakens graphene sheets at higher temperatures?
A)Increased phonon-assisted bond rotation✓
B)Reduced carbon sp2 hybridization
C)Enhanced interlayer van der Waals
D)Promoted Stone–Wales defect annealing
💡 Explanation
Increased thermal energy promotes phonon-assisted bond rotation at non-hexagonal defects. This weakens the lattice because these rotations disrupt the planar structure, therefore reducing the material's mechanical strength, rather than strengthening via defect annealing.
