ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the ionic liquids (IL)-assisted fabrication of graphene/ conducting polymers (CP) composite structures. Graphene has attracted great attention due to its unique structure and properties such as high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, extraordinary elasticity, and stiffness. Various graphene composites with insulating or CP have been prepared through non-covalent or covalent approaches, leading to improved properties at very low loading. The use of IL will be addressed in the synthesis of organic electroactive composite materials as they open up new opportunities for the influence of film properties. In the bottom-up category, chemical vapor deposition is the most used technique, since it can produce large area graphene sheets, with lateral dimensions up to several centimeters and with controlled number of graphene layers. As physicochemical properties of graphene oxide (GO) differ significantly from pristine graphene, most often GO is reduced to form materials known as reduced GO.
