Abstract

Abstract: On account of the increasing energy demand, there is a need for worldwide exploration for new materials and methods in developing other energy sources and storage technologies. With the development of portable electronics, integrated graphene‐based systems have attracted increasing attention due to their environmental friendliness, mechanical flexibility, and lightweight features. In this review, the latest advances in laser‐directed design and fabrication of integrated graphene‐based devices, along with state‐of‐the‐art applications in energy storage and solar cell technologies are comprehensively summarized. Recent advances in this field give promising and clean solutions offering an answer to the increasing concern of global warming and the growing energy demand in developed nations. The perspectives and challenges in designing and improving future graphene integrated devices are also discussed. Abstract : This review focuses on the most recent advances in the field of laser‐induced design and fabrication of integrated graphene‐based devices, with emphases on solar cells, miniaturized energy storage systems, sensors, electrocatalysis, and hybrid energy conversion/storage devices.
