Abstract
Graphene, with its outstanding electrical conductivity, low thermal conductivity, tunable nanostructure, mechanical flexibility, chemical stability, two-dimensional structure, and large specific surface area, exhibits significant potential in thermoelectric materials. These unique properties make graphene a promising candidate for thermoelectric applications. This paper will discuss the latest research achievements and summaries of graphene in the thermoelectric field from three perspectives: pristine graphene, graphene-inorganic composites, and graphene-organic composites. The goal of this review is to enhance the selection and design of graphene based materials and the development of thermoelectric fields.
