Abstract : Owing to the enchanting properties and applications possessed by graphene, scientific community showed enormous interest in the development of various graphene related materials. Among the varieties displayed by graphene, graphene aerogel, which is formed by the reduction of graphene oxide got immense attraction owing to the enhanced porosity, improved specific capacitance and increased surface area. The as-mentioned aerogel can be incorporated as a nanofiller for the fabrication of nanocomposites with improved properties which help them to widen their applications in energy storage, supercapacitor as well as sensors. The review provides a detailed investigation on the synthesis methods of graphene aerogel-based nanocomposites along with their properties and applications. Different areas including energy storage, sensors, supercapacitors, photocatalyst which can be flourished by the usage of graphene aerogel-based nanocomposites were discussed in a comprehensive manner followed by a focus on future perspectives.
