Progress and Prospects on the Fabrication of Graphene‐Based Nanostructures for Energy Storage, Energy Conversion and Biomedical Applications

Graphene, a two-dimensional (2D) layered material has attracted much attention from the scientific community due to its exceptional electrical, thermal, mechanical, biological and optical properties. Hence, numerous applications utilizing graphene-based materials could be conceived in next-generation electronics, chemical and biological sensing, energy conversion and storage, and beyond. The interaction between graphene surfaces with other materials plays a vital role in influencing its properties than other bulk materials. In this review, we outline the recent progress in the production of graphene and related 2D materials, and their uses in energy conversion (solar cells, fuel cells), energy storage (batteries, supercapacitors) and biomedical applications.
