Abstract
Graphene is a monolayer of carbon atoms tightly packed into a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. It is one among the nanomaterials known by its wide applications in various fields due to its excellent thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, current density, electron mobility and surface area. Nevertheless, traditional fabrication, whether by physical or chemical mounting, has negative consequences on human health and the environment. The green synthesis of graphene using biomolecules as reducing agents, being one of the main objectives of sustainable development, has become more and more researched and studied recently. The use of biological processes or biomolecules such as essential oils (EOs) in the green synthesis of graphene as a nontoxic, environmentally friendly, less expensive alternative and biocompatible has been in high demand in recent years. This chapter provides a review of the use of EOs as reducing agents in the green synthesis methods of graphene.
