Abstract
To develop large-area graphene-based TCFs, one of the foremost challenges is to produce sufficient amounts of high-quality graphene sheets. The techniques developed for synthesizing graphene including mechanical cleavage, epitaxial growth, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), total organic synthesis, and chemical method are compared. The electrical, thermal, optical, mechanical properties of graphene and graphene oxide, as well as the common tools for characterization of graphene and its derivatives are also discussed.
