A review of graphene materials-based sensors

Graphene is a 2D material with superior properties, since it has the advantage of being both conducting and transparent. Due to graphene superior properties, many applications on microelectronics and nanotechnology have been developed to exploit graphene. The objective of this chapter is to review the progress of graphene, the graphene synthesis process and its derivatives in nanomaterial. The structural, optical, electrical and thermal properties of the graphene are also discussed in conjunction with their potential applications, particularly sensors. Graphene-sensor has been developed into many applications and purpose such as gas sensors, biosensor and electrochemical sensors. In addition, this chapter reveals how important graphene is and the potential applications of graphene in the future with its outstanding properties. This chapter aims to offer a basic background of graphene
