▎ 摘　　要

The interest of researchers towards graphene, is now becoming very significant and promising. Although graphene possesses brilliant mechanical and physical properties, the commercialization path of graphene remains a challenge for researchers. Graphene production has been immensely studied since its first discovery by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov in 2010. Until now, there is a minimal indication for graphene to take over the nanomaterial market. Limited scale-up in producing a mass volume of high-quality pristine graphene or any graphene derivatives is a huge concern. The path of transforming graphene from laboratory scale to consumerused products requires large-scale graphene production that is practical and competitive. This review aims to better understand graphene and its derivatives as a step to introduce this material into industrial-scale production. Various synthesis processes to fulfill the need of the market for graphene are reviewed. A detailed discussion of the sustainability of graphene and its derivatives using biomass is also mentioned.
