Abstract

Graphene is the primitive two-dimensional crystal ever discovered by humankind. It's composed of just one graphite sheet, yet its unique features are redefining material science. However, practical mass-production technologies for defect-free monolayer graphene are currently lacking. Because of their planar shape, lightweight, high aspect ratio, electrical conductivity, inexpensiveness, and mechanical durability, graphene nanoparticles are appealing. Graphene and its associated derivatives, such as graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and graphene materials have been generally regarded as viable possibilities for industrial, environmental, and biomedical applications because of the rapid development of synthesis and functionalization procedures. Currently, the utilization of graphene nanomaterials leads to great innovation in the field of nano-biotechnology due to its nano-size, unique morphology, large surface area, and strong properties. Due to such unusual properties of graphene and its nanomaterials comes in a wide range of shapes which are discussed in this review along with their synthesis method and also cover a wide portion of the applications. The review aims to summarize the outcomes of current studies of graphene and its nanomaterial and also disclose the most promising applications of graphene nanomaterial which revolutionizing the material science.
