Abstract

Graphene has been a material of interest, especially since the discovery of its free-standing form in 2003. The discovery provided hope to researchers looking for breakthroughs in the field that had not seen significant growth for long. Incremental improvements are not enough to meet the exponentially growing demands for cheap, convenient, and high-performing technologies. Graphene has the potential to provide new ways of achieving goals that previously seemed impossible by redefining the frontiers of science. It is because of the unprecedented material properties of graphene that were never demonstrated before by any other material. Novel and better material properties open up doors to new technologies and advancements in existing ones. However, it is imperative to obtain the material of suitable quality at a reasonable cost for it to compete with prevailing alternatives. In this chapter, various methods for synthesizing graphene have been discussed with a particular focus on the liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) of graphite. Characterization with Raman spectroscopy, electron diffraction, and microscopy-based tools have been explored. The chapter also reviews applications of graphene in a few emerging areas. Graphene-based composites, with emphasis on their syntheses and applications, will be discussed.
