Graphene has received so much attention due to its exceptional electronic, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties in addi- tion to its large surface area and single-atom thickness. This has led to the discovery of several techniques to obtain graphene such as chemical exfolia- tion, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), chemical synthesis etc. However, these techniques are majorly challenged with developing graphene with fewer defects and in large scale; thus, there is an increasing need to produce gra- phene in large quantities with high quality. Several studies have been carried out to find routes to producing high-quality graphene. This paper focuses majorly on the synthesis and fabrication methods of producing graphene and its derivative, graphene oxide. Characterization techniques to identify gra- phene such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Ra- man spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) used to determine number of layers, quality, atomic structures, and defects in graphene is also briefly discussed. This article also covers a short description of graphene ap- plications in transparent electrodes, composites and energy storage devices. Keywords CVD, Exfoliation, Graphene, Graphene Oxide, Synthesis 1. Introduction The field of nanotechnology has blossomed following several studies on carbon. Carbon exists in three-dimensional (3D) forms (regarded as allotropes) as di- amond and graphite. Evidence of the 3D graphitic form of carbon dates as far back to 1500s [1] [2]. This brought about its use as a writing material in the How to cite this paper: Adetayo, A. and Runsewe, D. (2019) Synthesis and Fabrica- tion of Graphene and Graphene Oxide: A Review.
