Abstract
Graphene, the thinnest two-dimensional material, is extensively explored by interdisciplinary fields of research communities due to the excellent electronic, mechanical, optical and thermal properties. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the structure, synthesis, properties and applications of graphene/reduced graphene oxide. Graphene, the one atomic thick layer of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms arranged in honeycomb lattice, is the building block of all carbon materials such as graphite, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. It can be synthesized by different techniques such as micromechanical cleavage, exfoliation and chemical vapour deposition. It has also been commonly synthesized from the reduction in graphene oxide. The reduction of graphene oxide again is also carried out either by using hazardous chemicals or by green approach. This chapter also discusses the properties of graphene/reduced graphene oxide, which makes them a potential material in diverse applications. The potential fields of applications of graphene/reduced graphene oxide include medicine, electronics, energy devices , sensors, environmental and many more.
