Abstract
Due to their exceptional thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical, and mechanical capabilities as well as their substantial specific surface area, graphene-based materials have gained a great deal of attention in recent years. For use in energy storage, electronics, gas sorption, separation, sensing, and catalysis, a wide range of graphene-related materials have been synthesized. Particularly, graphene has been hailed as the perfect material to advance emerging technologies. For practical applications, their high cost and low yield continue to be major obstacles. High-quality graphene is synthesized on a massive scale using a variety of methods. The design and management of the synthesis methods can be used to produce certain structural characteristics. Therefore, this review explains the several ways to make graphene. Moreover, its uses in a variety of disciplines, particularly in emerging technologies, such as energy, environment, membranes, coatings, biomedicine, and sensors have been discussed. This review article concludes by providing a succinct summary, highlighting the issues, and outlining the potential for graphene.
