Abstract

Graphene is a promising material of carbon family, with hexagonal structure assembly entailing of sp² hybridized carbon atoms. The distinctive electrical, chemical and optical properties make graphene-based composites accessible in the various applications. Research efforts have been fervent for reconnoitering the essential physics, chemistry and nano-mechanics of graphene. Current progress has shown that the graphene-based composites have a profound impression in the application domain of electronic and optoelectronic devices, gas sensors, chemical sensors, biosensors, nanocomposites and energy storage. This chapter offers a summary of the current research trends on graphene-based metal and metal oxide nanocomposites for various applications. Besides, the synthetic routes of graphene preparation have been discussed. In addition, the synthetic routes of graphene preparation and their thermal properties have been discussed.

Keywords: Carbon materials, graphene, metal oxide nanocomposites, graphenebased composites
