Advances in synthesizing copper/graphene composite material

ABSTRACT

Graphene exhibits both excellent stretch and specific surface area. As a consequence, graphene has attracted immense attention for its applications lately. It worked well when bonded with copper composites. Unfortunately, however, there are little of such composites. To facilitate researchers to work better in the future, this article reviews its synthesis. There are two routes, including direct synthesis and indirect synthesis, which could be used to prepare copper/graphene. Simultaneously, the development and prospects of copper/graphene composite material have been discussed.
