“…Two different morphologies of LIG were obtained by tuning the laser parameters. The outer surface served to capture larger particles and aerosols, which was a vertically grown forest of LIG with a height of 1 mm, also known as LIG fibers (LIGF) [51,131]. backing it by a pore test polyethersulfone (PES) membrane, as shown in Fig.…”

Physical sensors form the fundamental building blocks of a multitude of advanced applications that detect and monitor the surroundings and communicate the acquired physical data. The everlasting need for more compliant, low-cost, and energy-efficient sensor solutions has led to considerable interest in enhancing their features and operation limits even further. While graphene has emerged as a promising candidate material, due to its outstanding electrical and mechanical properties, it is still not available in large volumes for practical applications. Meanwhile, Laser-Induced Graphene has opened new perspectives for a versatile, durable, printed physical sensing platform capable of detecting various physical parameters across a range of conditions and subjects. In this review, LIG physical sensors were categorized into four broad types based on their transduction mechanism: mechanical, thermal, magnetic, and electromagnetic. We summaries various design strategies established for preparing reliable physical sensors without the involvement of chemical treatments, synthesis, and multi-step fabrication processes. The review considers the effects of laser choice, lasing environment, and parameters on graphene properties. We also discuss a broad spectrum of applications of LIG physical sensors in fields ranging from healthcare, tactile sensing, environmental monitoring, energy harvesting, and soft robotics to desalination and THz modulation.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most widely used polymer in the world. For the first time, the laser‐driven integration of aluminum nanoparticles (Al NPs) into PET to realize a laser‐induced graphene/Al NPs/polymer composite, which demonstrates excellent toughness and high electrical conductivity with the formation of aluminum carbide into the polymer is shown. The conductive structures show an impressive mechanical resistance against >10000 bending cycles, projectile impact, hammering, abrasion, and structural and chemical stability when in contact with different solvents (ethanol, water, and aqueous electrolytes). Devices including thermal heaters, carbon electrodes for energy storage, electrochemical and bending sensors show this technology's practical application for ultra‐robust polymer electronics. This laser‐based technology can be extended to integrating other nanomaterials and create hybrid graphene‐based structures with excellent properties in a wide range of flexible electronics’ applications.

“…The observed ascending trends of porosity and EC have agreed with previous findings that higher irradiated power introduces higher‐quality graphene conversion but promotes the ablation effect. [ 42 , 44 ] Additionally, the higher‐leveled power could also enlarge the heat affected area to form overlapped processing region, which induces repeated irradiation to further improve the graphitization level. [ 46 , 51 ] As for GF, the ablation‐induced high‐porous structure could introduce the LIG conducting network with large numbers of microfissures or microcracks.…”

“…Until recently, laser‐induced graphene (LIG) has become a low‐cost, facile, and scalable process for converting and assembling graphene structures or devices from certain polymeric, natural biomass, or nonpolymeric precursors through laser‐irradiation‐induced photothermal treatment. [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ] By utilizing computer‐aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) based modes with customizable working routes, pioneering works have explored the capability of LIG for assembling various macroscopic graphene structures, e.g., LIG enabled fibers, [ 42 ] thin films, [ 43 ] papers, [ 44 , 45 , 46 ] and foams. [ 47 , 48 ] Among which, the LIG‐based 1D or 2D structures always rely on a fast formation by directly processing the precursor with identical fiber‐ or film‐like shapes without the necessity of pre‐ or post‐treatments.…”

Macroscopic 3D graphene has become a significant topic for satisfying the continuously upgraded smart structures and devices. Compared with liquid assembling and catalytic templating methods, laser‐induced graphene (LIG) is showing facile and scalable advantages but still faces limited sizes and geometries by using template induction or on‐site lay‐up strategies. In this work, a new LIG protocol is developed for facile stacking and shaping 3D LIG macrostructures by laminating layers of LIG papers (LIGPs) with combined resin infiltration and hot pressing. Specifically, the constructed 3D LIGP composites (LIGP‐C) are compatible with large area, high thickness, and customizable flat or curved shapes. Additionally, systematic research is explored for investigating critical processing parameters on tuning its multifunctional properties. As the laminated layers are stacked from 1 to 10, it is discovered that piezoresistivity (i.e., gauge factor) of LIGP‐C dramatically reflects an ≈3900% improvement from 0.39 to 15.7 while mechanical and electrical properties maintain simultaneously at the highest levels, attributed to the formation of densely packed fusion layers. Along with excellent durability for resisting multiple harsh environments, a sensor‐array system with 5 × 5 LIGP‐C elements is finally demonstrated on fiber‐reinforced polymeric composites for accurate strain mapping.
