Free-standing graphene (FSG) paper like electrodes has paid attention to the energy storage device application in the past decade. It befits to fabricate flexible devices due to its remarkable mechanical strength and offers high electrical conductivity. In this chapter, we explore the advantages and future prospects of FSG fresh candidate in rechargeable batteries. Herein, we summarized the synthetic strategies used for FSG fabrication and its properties, followed by its application in rechargeable batteries. Extensively, this chapter deals with fabrication of FSG hybrid composite papers for battery applications to understand the overall device performance. Specifically, we discuss the benefits of FSG electrodes over conventional electrode material and its fabrication in battery system. Ultimately, we conclude with the significance of FSG paper in battery application and forthcoming advantage for recycling purposes.
