Nanocomposite material proves to be the best candidate to match today's technological need as fascinating properties can be achieved by combining two or more nanomaterials. Among various nanomaterials, graphene is able to stand out far ahead of all others because of its novel structure and exclusive characteristics. In particular, graphene-metal nanocomposites have attracted enormous interest for their prospective use in various fields, including electronics, electrical and energy-related areas. However, for the utmost use of potential of graphene, it has to be homogenously embedded into metal matrices. Thus, appropriate synthesis route is decisive to obtain graphene-metal nanocomposites with desired properties. This chapter will summarize the different synthesis routes of high-quality graphene-metal nanocomposites along with their current developments. one is the called matrix or binder which encloses and binds together fragments or fibres of the other material, termed as reinforcement. If one of the constituent materials of the composite is of nanometer dimension then the composite is called nanocomposite 1 and in most of the cases the nanomaterial are used as reinforcement material. Since the advent of nanomaterial several of them is used to synthesise nanocomposite, as nanomaterial possesses remarkable improvement in their properties compared to their bulk counterpart 2 . The inclusion of nanomaterial as the reinforcement in the parent matrix also significantly enhances the properties of the resulting nanocomposite 3 . Among the different nanomaterials graphene has emerged as one of the most prospective nanomaterials due to the unique combination of its exotic properties 4 . Based on the binder material graphene nanocomposite can be categorized as graphene metal/metal oxide nanocomposite 5 , graphene ceramic nanocomposite 6 , graphene semiconductor nanocomposite 7 and graphene polymer nanocomposite 8 . Among various nanocomposites, graphene-metal/metal oxide composites have attracted considerable attention because of their potential applications in energy 9 and health 10 -related areas.
