▎ 摘　　要

Graphene is a promising material as both active components and additives in electrochemical energy storage devices. The properties of graphene strongly depend on the fabrication methods. The applications of reduced graphene oxide as electrode materials have been well studied and reviewed, but the using of "pristine" graphene as electrode material for energy storage is still a new topic. In this paper, we review state-of-the-art progress in the fabrication of "pristine" graphene by different methods and the electrochemical performance of graphene-based electrodes. The achievements in this area will be summarized and compared with the graphene oxide route in terms of cost, scalability, material properties and performances, and the challenges in these methods will be discussed as well.
