Abstract

Highlights: The research adopted scientometric review in graphene oxide (GO). Science mapping and in-depth review were adopted as research methods. GO-reinforced cement composites remain a new research area. Durability in GO-reinforced cement composites has not been widely investigated. Main research themes and research directions in GO-reinforced cement composites are provided. Abstract: Adopting a holistic review approach, this study started from the scientometric analysis by analyzing the mainstream journals, keywords, scholars, publications, and institutions active in the research of cement composites reinforced with graphene oxide (GO). Further statistical summary of research themes and in-depth discussion addressed the current research findings and gaps in terms of workability, mechanical properties, durability, and other issues when adding GO into cementitious materials. Recommendations for future research were provided, including but not limited to the necessity to study the long-term mechanical properties of cement composites reinforced with GO, and the application of GO in concrete.
