Hanns-Peter Boehm

Hanns-Peter Boehm studied chemistry in Regensburg from 1947 to 1951. He received his doctorate in 1953 at Technische Universität Darmstadt,^[5] where he also received his habilitation in 1959 with the treatise Oberflächenchemie und Adsorption an Kohlenstoff und SiO₂. In 1961, Boehm, together with Ralph Setton and Eberhard Stumpp, isolated and identified single graphene sheets by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction. In 1986 they authored the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) report formally defining the term graphene.^[6] In 1970 Boehm became professor and director of the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry of LMU Munich; in 1994 he retired to the status of professor emeritus.
