Abstract

Today, the world is looking for ease of use, application materials, and carrying options. This is extended towards all material and electronic devices. Large applications and requirements are there for ease to use and flexible displays in the computational and telecommunication industry, and considerable work is targeted towards the same. Similarly, if solar cell applications are considered, a flexible solar cell would be elementary to install and use compared to their rigid equivalence. This results in a lookout towards polymeric counterparts for current rigid materials. Though some of these polymeric materials have shown excellent potential, their property tuning needs to be addressed to a greater extent to obtain the desired outcome and properties. These materials need to match the properties and applicability of materials like indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes, which are weak, get more expensive, and are chemically unstable. As a promising material, graphene stands out due to its unique electrical and mechanical characteristics and excellent optical transmittance. This makes graphene a viable material for flexible transparent conductive electrodes. This has led to graphene’s widespread adoption in bendable electrical components like LEDs, PV cells, and field-effect transistors (FETs). However, some limitations must also be addressed for graphene to be used in flexible electronics. This chapter aims to overview graphene applications for energy storage devices, flexible solar cells, integrated circuits, etc. It would also shed light on the methods for overcoming the limitations of graphene to create flexible electronics that are both highly effective and reliable. Finally, the possible future developments will be outlined, providing a lookout towards further research opportunities for flexible electrical devices based on graphene.
