- Abstract
In this paper, various research works have been performed on synthesis and functionalization after the invention of graphene (Gr) and its spectral properties. The reinforcing of Gr family members into the matrix leads to the development of novel composites. Its characterization in terms of morphological and physicochemical properties is required for the discovery of wide-ranging applications. This paper reviews the various emerging features and future scope for reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The possibilities of composites development through the different matrix are proposed to evaluate application potential, various fabrication techniques for Gr, and its role in improving composite properties. The work initially examines multiple ways to synthesize rGO. Its addition to different materials includes metals, metal oxides, ceramics, polymers, and organic compounds through various composite preparation techniques. Finally, this paper gives an overview of the enhancement in properties obtained due to the addition of rGO, which opens the door for a broad set of applications. This paper concludes with a comparative study that defines a suitable preparation technique according to the required material composites, desired properties, and specific applications. An attempt has been proposed to examine the exceptional feature of rGO/composite for cost-effective functions in manufacturing sectors. The current review has exclusive discussion on the synthesis of rGO and its metal, ceramics, polymers-based composites, as well as their industrial applications. The article primarily addressed synthetic techniques because they are viable for the commercial sector. The focus is on their practical utilization in various biomedical applications, EMI shielding, automobiles, supercapacitors, and other electronic components. The rGO and its composite materials synthesis stated in this paper are unique, which maybe of interest to researchers and engineers.
