Abstract

Abstract:

Graphene material possesses extraordinary properties for a variety of applications both in traditional and new emerging industries. However, the lack of an eco-friendly approach for large-scale, low-cost, and efficient preparation of high-quality graphene products has been a major bottleneck to exploiting most potential applications. This review systematically analyzed and compared the advantages and disadvantages of all available graphene preparation methods based on the specific requirements of different application fields. The significance of the principle and methology of materials-oriented chemical engineering in developing effective solutions for the described bottleneck problem in achieving the industrial preparation and application of graphene was discussed.

Key words: graphene, property, application, preparation, separation, product engineering
