Research status and development trends of interaction between laser and graphene

Recently global researches on graphene materials are exploding due to their outstanding properties. Laser technology is one of the most powerful manufacturing approaches, which makes graphene become a promising candidate for next generation electronic materials. In this work, the reaction mechanism of laser technology on preparation of graphene is summarized, including pulsed laser deposition (PLD), laser-induced chemical vapor deposition (LCVD), two-beam-laser interference mediated reduction, laser-induced unzipping of carbon nanotubes, and et al.. In addition, to control the quality and photoelectric properties of grapheme, the effect of laser on graphene is discussed, such as thinning, cleaning, cutting, simulated emission, and et al.. Moreover, the applications of micropatterned graphene-based materials on gas sensors, super capacitors are reviewed. At last, the potential use of laser on graphene material in the field of preparation and application is studied.
