“…In recent years, graphene-and GO based inks have been extensively exploited for 3D printing due to their attractive properties like excellent mechanical properties and electrical/thermal conductivity. [35][36][37][38][39][40] Compared with graphene, GO-based inks are more popular due to their following advantages: (1) GO can be easily produced on a large scale by chemical exfoliation strategies like modified Hummer's methods. 53 (2) GO is hydrophilic and can be easily dispersed in common solvents like water, glycerin, and DMF, which is easy to process.…”

“…Moreover, the additive nature and precise material deposition process of 3D printing technique also improves the materials utilization ratio and avoids hasty depletion, which accords well with the developing trend of sustainable ESC devices. Owning to the amphiphilic properties of GO sheets and their unique viscoelastic properties, GO dispersion has been widely exploited as a printable ink material for extrusion‐based 3D printing technique like direct ink writing (DIW) 35–39 . The rheological behaviors of graphene‐based ink are dependent on the concentration of graphene, the lateral size of graphene, and the utilization of solvent, which can be easily adapted to meet the requirements for different printing techniques and applications.…”

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.

“…Graphene as a unique material is used for physical and chemical sensing. Several types of gas and vapor nanosensors employing graphene were reported [1,2]. To this end, graphene is most often deployed in resistive sensors [3], field effect transistors (FET) [4], surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors [5], quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors [6], microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) or nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), gravimetric sensors [7], MEMS or NEMS infrared (IR) detectors [8], and semiconductor modified hybrid sensors [9].…”

“…A single layer of carbon atoms in the sp 2 hybridization arranged in a hexagonal (honeycomb) lattice called graphene was first calculated using the tight-binding method by Wallace as a model for graphite in 1946 [10] and prepared by Geim and Novoselov in 2004 [11]. It has been an extensively studied material with numerous interesting thermal, mechanical, electrical, and optical properties [12][13][14].…”

Mechanical strain and electric-field modulation of graphene transistors integrated on MEMS cantilevers

This work proposes a structure which allows characterization of graphene monolayers under combined electric field and mechanical strain modulation. Our approach is based on a cantilever integrated into a two-dimensional graphene-based field effect transistor (FET). This allows us to change graphene properties either separately or together via two methods. The first way involves electric field induced by the gate. The second is induction of mechanical strain caused by external force pushing the cantilever up or down. We fabricated devices using silicon-on-insulator wafer with practically zero value of residual stress and a high-quality dielectric layer which allowed us to precisely characterize structures using both mentioned stimuli. We used the electric field/strain interplay to control resistivity and position of the charge neutrality point often described as the Dirac point of graphene. Furthermore, values of mechanical stress can be obtained during the preparation of thin films, which enables the cantilever to bend after the structure is released. Our device demonstrates a novel method of tuning the physical properties of graphene in silicon and/or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology, and is thus promising for tunable physical or chemical sensors.

Advanced functional materials with fascinating properties and extended structural design have greatly broadened their applications. Metamaterials, exhibiting unprecedented physical properties (mechanical, electromagnetic, acoustic, etc.), are considered frontiers of physics, material science, and engineering. With the emerging 3D printing technology, the manufacturing of metamaterials becomes much more convenient. Graphene, due to its superior properties such as large surface area, superior electrical/thermal conductivity, and outstanding mechanical properties, shows promising applications to add multi‐functionality into existing metamaterials for various applications. In this review, the aim is to outline the latest developments and applications of 3D printed graphene‐based metamaterials. The structure design of different types of metamaterials and the fabrication strategies for 3D printed graphene‐based materials are first reviewed. Then the representative explorations of 3D printed graphene‐based metamaterials and multi‐functionality that can be introduced with such a combination are further discussed. Subsequently, challenges and opportunities are provided, seeking to point out future directions of 3D printed graphene‐based metamaterials.
