Graphene, a wonder material with exceptional properties, has seen rapid advancements in research and applications. Its unique characteristics, such as being the thinnest and strongest material, high charge carrier mobility, and thermal conductivity, have made it a subject of intense interest. The review discusses recent trends and future directions in graphene research, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities in producing large-scale graphene wafers and the potential for various applications. The production of graphene has evolved from manual cleavage of graphite to automated methods, including ultrasonic cleavage and epitaxial growth on other crystals. These techniques have enabled the creation of high-quality graphene films and wafers, which are crucial for advancing graphene-based electronics and other applications. Graphene's electronic properties, described by a Dirac-like equation, have led to the exploration of relativistic quantum phenomena. Despite significant progress, many questions remain, such as the scattering mechanisms limiting carrier mobility and the behavior near the charge neutrality point (CNP). Chemical modifications of graphene, including doping and functionalization, have also been explored. These changes can alter graphene's electronic, optical, and mechanical properties, making it suitable for various applications. However, the chemistry of graphene is still largely unexplored compared to its electronic properties. Non-electronic properties, such as mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and flexibility, have been observed in graphene. These properties make it a promising material for applications in electronics, sensors, and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). The review concludes by highlighting the potential of graphene in areas like computer electronics, transmission electron microscopy, optoelectronics, and memory devices. Despite the challenges, the rapid development in graphene research promises exciting future discoveries and applications.Graphene, a wonder material with exceptional properties, has seen rapid advancements in research and applications.
