Graphite layers refers to thin sheets or sheets made up of graphite, a form of carbon. These sheets are arranged in a repeating pattern, similar to a stack of papers. Full definition
From the early 1970s, Professor Dresselhaus applied her expertise in the use of these techniques to graphite intercalation compounds, materials in which different chemical species are sandwiched between graphite layers to alter properties such as electrical and thermal conductivity.

Multipanel drawings from the 1970s employ crisp geometries, with surfaces of graphite layered with beeswax, giving them a rich depth of pigment. (artsy.net)
An international team of scientists based at the University of Texas, Dallas (UTD), has developed a new type of artificial muscle created from carbon «nanotubes» — tiny hollow cylinders constructed from the same graphite layers found in the core of a standard pencil. (newatlas.com)
