Abstract

Graphene and its derivatives have received a lot of attention among carbon-based nanomaterials because of their unique mechanical, thermal, and electronic properties. However, due to high costs and limited production capacity, there are serious hindrances for the industrialization of graphene and graphene-based products on a large scale. As a result, there is a substantial need for the development and the implementation of reliable and low-cost methods to produce graphene. This chapter summarizes the emerging trends in the synthesis of graphene and its derivatives from sugar and sugarcane extracts as precursor and reducing agent. Further, it includes the present applications, future prospects, and challenges.
