A comprehensive overview and description of crumpled graphene explored in recent years for energy storage applications is presented. Although graphene is known as one of the best electronic materials, preparing of crumpled graphene has been less explored. This article selectively aims to present an overview of the advancement of research in crumpled graphene, in the area of preparation and applications especially in energy storage, such as supercapacitor and lithium ion batteries. When graphene was transformed to the crumpled form, the resulting one can give superior capacitance due to their unique properties like extremely high specific surface area, high conductivity and stability against graphitization (aggregation-resistant) compared to those of flat graphene sheets which tend to aggregation and thus lead to a dramatic decrease in the surface area, leading to a poor capacitance.
