This study presents an overview on graphene synthesis, fabrication and different characterization techniques utilized in the production. Since its discovery in 2004 by Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov several research articles have been published globally to this effect, owing to graphene’s extraordinary, and exclusive characteristics which include optical transparency, excellent thermal, and mechanical properties. The properties and applications of this two-dimensional carbon crystal composed of single-layered material have created new avenues for the development of high-performance future electronics and technologies in energy storage and conversion for the sustainable energy. However, despite its potential and current status globally the difficulty in the production of monolayer graphene sheet still persists. Therefore, this review highlighted two approaches in the synthesis of graphene, which are the top-down and bottom-up approaches and examined the advantages and failings of the methods involved. In addition, the prospects and failings of these methods are investigated, as they are essential in optimizing the production method of graphene vital for expanding the yield, and producing high-quality graphene.

“…In addition to a single metallic catalyst, Ni-Cu foam alloys were also employed to grow graphene foams with a controlled number of layers [ 18 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Starting from commercial nickel foam by melting and diffusion of the Cu film, they obtained Ni-Cu alloys that allowed them to control the number of graphene layers.…”

In this review, we highlight recent advancements in 3D graphene foam synthesis by template-assisted chemical vapor deposition, as well as their potential energy storage and conversion applications. This method offers good control of the number of graphene layers and porosity, as well as continuous connection of the graphene sheets. The review covers all the substrate types, catalysts, and precursors used to synthesize 3D graphene by the CVD method, as well as their most viable energy-related applications.

“…For example, graphene production by exfoliation using tannic acid in an aqueous medium has been developed with an efficient methodology . However, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) remains the most efficient method for mass production by employing roll-to-roll processing. , CVD allows some control of both graphene quality and thickness through growth kinetics and thermodynamics. − …”

Mass production of graphene by plasma or thermal chemical vapor deposition consumes much energy, with potentially adverse effects on the environment. This work reports the use of a high-flux solar simulator that approximates the sun's spectrum and a cold-wall chemical vapor deposition reactor to demonstrate a renewable energy process for graphene growth. Synthesis of highquality (I D /I G = 0.13) AB-stacked bilayer graphene with greater than 90% coverage is achieved on commercial polycrystalline copper in a one-step process and a short time of 5 min. The graphene exhibits large grain sizes of up to 20 μm with spatial uniformity over a large area up to 20 mm in radius. The transmissivity and sheet resistance of the graphene films fall in the ranges of 92.8−95.3% and 2−4 kΩ/sq, respectively. Thus, direct solar capture provides a compelling option for graphene synthesis that can potentially decrease fabrication costs and environmental pollution.
