Abstract

In recent years, graphene has been deeply studied by scholars, and has attracted high attention in the field of flexible electronics. In order to better understand the properties and application of graphene, this article systematically summarized and analyzed the applications in the field of flexible electronics from multiple angles to better display its characteristics. It mainly introduces the development, preparation method, classification, and application of graphene. Since its discovery in 2004, it has become a special and useful nanomaterial. Graphene has been widely used in the field of flexible electronics in the past few years due to its excellent mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and transparency. Moreover, we specifically show the development trends and application characteristics of graphene in flexible solar cells, field-effect transistors, nanogenerators. In addition, the problems facing graphene are also mentioned. Finally, the development prospects of graphene-based flexible electronics are presented and suggested for further studies.
