“…(1) Polymers that have been used to form LIG include, but are not limited to Polyimide (PI) [40], Polybenzimidazole (PBM) [78], Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) [79], Polyetherimide (PEI) [80], an aromatic ring in their molecular structure composed of Polycarbonate (PC) [81] as seen in Fig.1a. These polymers have carbon (C) and hydrogen (H), as well as nitrogen (N), and Oxygen(O) atoms.…”

Physical sensors form the fundamental building blocks of a multitude of advanced applications that detect and monitor the surroundings and communicate the acquired physical data. The everlasting need for more compliant, low-cost, and energy-efficient sensor solutions has led to considerable interest in enhancing their features and operation limits even further. While graphene has emerged as a promising candidate material, due to its outstanding electrical and mechanical properties, it is still not available in large volumes for practical applications. Meanwhile, Laser-Induced Graphene has opened new perspectives for a versatile, durable, printed physical sensing platform capable of detecting various physical parameters across a range of conditions and subjects. In this review, LIG physical sensors were categorized into four broad types based on their transduction mechanism: mechanical, thermal, magnetic, and electromagnetic. We summaries various design strategies established for preparing reliable physical sensors without the involvement of chemical treatments, synthesis, and multi-step fabrication processes. The review considers the effects of laser choice, lasing environment, and parameters on graphene properties. We also discuss a broad spectrum of applications of LIG physical sensors in fields ranging from healthcare, tactile sensing, environmental monitoring, energy harvesting, and soft robotics to desalination and THz modulation.

“…Meanwhile, the conductivity, electrochemical performance [24,27,35,36], biocompatibility [37,38], and hydrophobicity [39][40][41] of LIG also have been systematically studied. A variety of LIG devices have been developed, including sensors [14][15][16][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42], supercapacitors [17,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55], nanogenerators [54][55][56][57][58]…”

Since it was reported in 2014, laser-induced graphene (LIG) has received growing attention for its fast speed, non-mask, and low-cost customizable preparation, and has shown its potential in the fields of wearable electronics and biological sensors that require high flexibility and versatility. Laser-induced graphene has been successfully prepared on various substrates with contents from various carbon sources, e.g., from organic films, plants, textiles, and papers. This paper reviews the recent progress on the state-of-the-art preparations and applications of LIG including mechanical sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, electrochemical sensors, electrophysiological sensors, heaters, and actuators. The achievements of LIG based devices for detecting diverse bio-signal, serving as monitoring human motions, energy storage, and heaters are highlighted here, referring to the advantages of LIG in flexible designability, excellent electrical conductivity, and diverse choice of substrates. Finally, we provide some perspectives on the remaining challenges and opportunities of LIG.

“…PEI was also used to make nanocomposites with polycarbonate (PC). Here, a blend of the two polymers was exposed to a CO 2 laser and only PEI was converted to graphene, yielding a nanocomposite [41]. The same process was applied to sulfonated polymers to produce sulfur-doped porous graphene structures [42], which is of particular interest as such polymers are widely used in the technology industry.…”

Since graphene was discovered, a great deal of research effort has been devoted to finding more and more effective synthetic routes, stimulated by its astounding properties and manifold promising applications. Over the past decade, laser synthesis has been proposed as a viable synthesis method to reduce graphene oxide to graphene as well as to obtain graphene from other carbonaceous sources such as polymers or other natural materials. This review first proposes to discuss the various conditions under which graphene is obtained from the reduction of graphene oxide or is induced from other materials using laser sources. After that, a wide range of applications proposed for the obtained materials are discussed. Finally, conclusions are drawn and the author’s perspectives are given.
