“…[235] Although this issue can also be resolved by introducing conductive binders such as poly (styrene sulfonate), poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene), their number is limited. [236] Oxidizing graphene to form GO has demonstrated a greater degree of dispersion in aqueous solutions, [237] and thus, most research on DIW of graphene-based geometries has utilized GO as the precursor material for printing. Since GO is not a good conductor, the printed GO-based structures are typically reduced via thermal or chemical treatment to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to obtain structures with good electrical conductivity.…”

Additive manufacturing (AM) has gained significant attention due to its ability to drive technological development as a sustainable, flexible, and customizable manufacturing scheme. Among the various AM techniques, direct ink writing (DIW) has emerged as the most versatile 3D printing technique for the broadest range of materials. DIW allows printing of practically any material, as long as the precursor ink can be engineered to demonstrate appropriate rheological behavior. This technique acts as a unique pathway to introduce design freedom, multifunctionality, and stability simultaneously into its printed structures. Here, a comprehensive review of DIW of complex 3D structures from various materials, including polymers, ceramics, glass, cement, graphene, metals, and their combinations through multimaterial printing is presented. The review begins with an overview of the fundamentals of ink rheology, followed by an in‐depth discussion of the various methods to tailor the ink for DIW of different classes of materials. Then, the diverse applications of DIW ranging from electronics to food to biomedical industries are discussed. Finally, the current challenges and limitations of this technique are highlighted, followed by its prospects as a guideline toward possible futuristic innovations.

“…The 3D graphene structures deliberately eliminate the possibility of face-to-face restacking, expanding the usage of graphene in a broad range of fields. 3D graphene structures can be promising in electrochemical applications like supercapacitors, sensors, fuel cells, hydrogen storage, and flexible electronics [5,[153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160]. Furthermore, 3D graphene materials can be effectively employed as support catalysts in chemical and electrochemical reactions, especially in environmental remedy, where macroscopic structures are advantageous in recycling and recovery.…”

Carbon materials and their allotropes have been involved significantly in our daily lives. Zero-dimensional (0D) fullerenes, one-dimensional (1D) carbon materials, and two-dimensional (2D) graphene materials have distinctive properties and thus received immense attention from the early 2000s. To meet the growing demand for these materials in applications like energy storage, electrochemical catalysis, and environmental remediation, the special category, i.e., three-dimensional (3D) structures assembled from graphene sheets, has been developed. Graphene oxide is a chemically altered graphene, the desired building block for 3D graphene matter (i.e., 3D graphene macrostructures). A simple synthesis route and pore morphologies make 3D reduced-graphene oxide (rGO) a major candidate for the 3D graphene group. To obtain target-specific 3D rGO, its synthesis mechanism plays an important role. Hence, in this article, we will discuss the general mechanism for 3D rGO synthesis, vital procedures for fabricating advanced 3D rGO, and important aspects controlling the growth of 3D rGO.

Developing high‐performance energy storage and conversion (ESC) device relies on both the utilization of good constituent materials and rational design of assembly structure. Graphene‐based materials, due to their superior properties like high electrical/thermal conductivity, large surface area, and unique optical properties, have been extensively reported for ESC applications. The emerging three‐dimensional (3D) printing techniques, especially extrusion‐based direct ink writing technique, have brought a revolutionary improvement in structure control accuracy and designing capability to graphene‐based macro‐assemblies, triggering a boost in functionalities and performances of graphene‐based ESC devices. In these circumstances, understanding the very recent progress of 3D‐printed graphene materials and their design philosophy to bring new concepts for material designs and address the requirements for high‐performance ESC devices are urgently important. In this review, we aim to outline recent developments in 3D printing of graphene‐based materials and their applications in ESC applications. Basic requirements and theoretical analysis for preparation printable inks are discussed, as well as feasible GO ink preparation strategies in existing literatures. The representative explorations of 3D‐printed graphene materials in ESC applications like batteries, supercapacitors, solar steam generators, and electro‐thermal conversion are also reviewed. This study attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of the progresses and limitations of present 3D printed graphene materials, and seeks to enlighten the opportunities and orientations of future research in this field.
