Graphene-based hybrid materials: synthetic approaches and properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carbon has a unique chemistry reflected in its wide presence in the inorganic and organic world – benzene, diamond, graphite, fullerene, carbon nanotubes and now graphene – carbon seems to be at the centre of action in the playground of scientific research. In this review, synthesis and unique properties of graphene and graphene-based composites have been discussed with particular emphasis on the environmentally benign (green) synthetic methods and their wide applications, especially in energy conversion, energy storage, electronics, biomedical and biosensing applications.
