“…Wet ball milling uses a surfactant such as N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)NMP, which have similar surface energy to that of adjacent graphene flakes and assist in disintegrating graphene layers from graphite. Moreover, dry ball milling is also employed widely to prepare graphene, by milling a mixture of chemically inert water-soluble inorganic salts and graphite followed by washing or sonication steps [ 72 , 73 , 74 ]. In a very recent study, ball milling in series with a shear-mixing exfoliation procedure was used with CO 2 in supercritical condition to produce good-quality FLG, with more than 90% of the produced graphene having less than five layers.…”

Graphene is fundamentally a two-dimensional material with extraordinary optical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical characteristics. It has a versatile surface chemistry and large surface area. It is a carbon nanomaterial, which comprises sp2 hybridized carbon atoms placed in a hexagonal lattice with one-atom thickness, giving it a two-dimensional structure. A large number of synthesis techniques including epitaxial growth, liquid phase exfoliation, electrochemical exfoliation, mechanical exfoliation, and chemical vapor deposition are used for the synthesis of graphene. Graphene prepared using different techniques can have a number of benefits and deficiencies depending on its application. This study provides a summary of graphene preparation techniques and critically assesses the use of graphene, its derivates, and composites in environmental applications. These applications include the use of graphene as membrane material for the detoxication and purification of water, active material for gas sensing, heavy metal ions detection, and CO2 conversion. Furthermore, a trend analysis of both synthesis techniques and environmental applications of graphene has been performed by extracting and analyzing Scopus data from the past ten years. Finally, conclusions and outlook are provided to address the residual challenges related to the synthesis of the material and its use for environmental applications.

“…The main advantage of ball milling production is the possibility of large-scale production, while a drawback is fragmentation and defects, long processing time, high energy consumption, etc. This method is suitable for the production of functionalized graphene for functional coating, energy storage, and electrochemical sensors [61][62][63].…”

After exfoliation of graphite and discovered graphene in 2004 by Novoselov and Geim, the attention of graphene by the global scientific community enhanced progressively as a multifunctional wonder material in the world due to its unique extraordinary properties.Numerous methods apart from the discovered method have been investigated to synthesize the graphene in mass scale for variety of applications. Consequently, we believe that an adequate knowledge is necessary to choose a proper method of synthesis for a particular application. The main objective of the present review is to summarize the feasible methods followed in synthesis of graphene, discussing their properties, applications, advantages, and disadvantages for future prospects.

“…In 2008, by using a solvent whose surface energy matches that of graphene, and balancing the energy required to exfoliate graphene with the solvent-graphene interaction, Yenny Hernandez et al demonstrated graphene dispersions up to 0.01 mg ml −1 , which was produced by the dispersion and exfoliation of graphite in N-methyl-pyrrolidone (Hernandez et al, 2008). In 2020, Yang et al developed a two-step method combining resonant ball milling with hydrothermal treatment to prepare few-layer graphene in high yields (Yang et al, 2020). During resonant ball milling, Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles are used to promote the fragmentation and delamination of graphite layers.…”

Limited by the disadvantages of low theoretical capacity, sluggish lithium ion deintercalation kinetics as well as inferior energy density, traditional graphite anode material has failed to meet the ever-increasing specific energy demand for lithium-ion battery technologies. Therefore, constructing high-efficiency and stable anodes is of great significance for the practical application of lithium-ion batteries. In response, graphene-based composite anodes have recently achieved much-enhanced electrochemical performance due to their unique two-dimensional cellular lattice structure, excellent electrical conductivity, high specific surface area and superior physicochemical stability. In this review, we start with the geometric and electronic properties of graphene, and then summarize the recent progresses of graphene preparation in terms of both methods and characteristics. Subsequently, we focus on the applications of various graphene based lithium-ion battery anodes and their inherent structure-activity relationships. Finally, the challenges and advisory guidelines for graphene composites are discussed. This review aims to provide a fresh perspective on structure optimization and performance modulation of graphene-based composites as lithium-ion battery anodes.
