Recent Applications and Synthesis Techniques of Graphene

Abstract

Graphene's mass and low-cost production has become an essential step toward its real-world applications, due to significant advancements in fundamental research and industrial applications. Graphene, a one-atom thick carbon crystal with a unique set of physical and chemical properties comprising from extreme mechanical behaviour with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, is emerging as a serious contender to replace many traditional materials in a variety of applications. Graphene has the potential to improve the performance, functionality, and durability of a broad spectrum of applications, but its commercialization will require more study. Applications and emerging techniques for the production of graphene have been investigated in this study. To increase the use of graphene, its current limitations must be solved expeditiously to improve its current performance. In terms of applications, graphene's advantages have expanded its use in both electroanalytical and electrochemical sensors. The most relevant experimental achievements on the fabrication of graphene material, as well as its evolving features in relation to smart applications, are highlighted in this review study. We explore how graphene may be successfully integrated directly into devices, enabling a wide range of applications such as transparent electrodes, photovoltaics, thermoelectricity, 3D printing, and applications in biomedical and bioimaging devices. Graphene's prospects are also explored and discussed.
