We used it to 'bond' quartz tuning forks to the substrate. This was in the early 70's when I worked at STATEK, an originator of this style of quartz oscillator. Our bread-and-butter product was a watch crystal which oscillated at 32,768hz. = 2e15
You can get it on Amazon or even RadioShack these days. Ours came cold packed in styrofoam with dry ice.
My understanding of Graphene is that it is (potentially) a SHEET product of x number of atoms thickenss. It MIGHT be useful to make planar speakers like Magnepan or perhaps Electrostats.
Small size applications would be in headphones or tweeters. I'd even think a RIBBON Tweeter element could be fabricated.
This material should be 'doped' in specific patterns, so in the case of magnepan, for example, NO wire would have to be 'glued' to the surface to provide a conductor. This ultra-lightweight diaphragm in conjunction with Neo magnets would (or COULD) have pretty good sensitivity and power handling.
New, and currently only imaginary designs are possible, too, I suppose. STay Tuned!

Sounds really interesting!
I'm not current since the 'state-of-the-art' changes fairly quickly.
I'm not sure if ANY applications are out of the lab yet.
I'm hoping for a room temp superconductor. But CarbonFiber might be better. I'm thinking REAL high voltage lines for long distances. Current practice is to us Aluminum for weight savings over copper.
Link to some light reading.
