Plasma-based synthesis of graphene and applications: a focused review

Abstract Graphene is a highly sought-after material for wide range of applications, particularly in areas such as energy harvesting and storage, electronics, electrochemical sensors, biomedical, composites, coatings. The synthesis high-quality graphene precondition its real-time application. However, conventional methods have certain drawbacks including laborious procedures structural defects nanosheets. Plasma-based techniques plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition atmospheric pressure microwave plasma are high-tech practices that can produce without any solvents few seconds. This article reviews these state-of-the-art emphasizing mainly their process parameters the high-grade graphene, which defect-free, comprises mono to layers, great carrier mobility, high purity. applications as-synthesized various fields also provided. Moreover, potential breakthroughs prospect discussed this work.
