Abstract
AbstractAdvanced functional materials with fascinating properties and extended structural design have greatly broadened their applications. Metamaterials, exhibiting unprecedented physical properties (mechanical, electromagnetic, acoustic, etc.), are considered frontiers of physics, material science, and engineering. With the emerging 3D printing technology, the manufacturing of metamaterials becomes much more convenient. Graphene, due to its superior properties such as large surface area, superior electrical/thermal conductivity, and outstanding mechanical properties, shows promising applications to add multi‐functionality into existing metamaterials for various applications. In this review, the aim is to outline the latest developments and applications of 3D printed graphene‐based metamaterials. The structure design of different types of metamaterials and the fabrication strategies for 3D printed graphene‐based materials are first reviewed. Then the representative explorations of 3D printed graphene‐based metamaterials and multi‐functionality that can be introduced with such a combination are further discussed. Subsequently, challenges and opportunities are provided, seeking to point out future directions of 3D printed graphene‐based metamaterials.
