Recent years have witnessed a revolution in Graphene and its applications. Presently, it is a hot subject in science and engineering circles, and gathering more and more interest. This one-atom-thick crystal of carbon has distinctive physicochemical properties, tremendous mechanical performance and outstanding electrical and thermal conductivities. These characteristics are making Graphene as an alternative to replace many traditional materials for many applications. There are different methods to fabricate and characterize 2D Graphene, some of these methods are currently scalable and others still on the lab scale. This state-of-the-art, aimed to achieve three goals: (1) provide a background that is easy to follow, (2) to make a short survey on Graphene history, properties, and different preparation methods, and (3) Current and future applications of Graphene and Graphene-based materials. This survey can help motivate and guide scientific community and the public that are interested in Graphene and its applications.
