Abstract

Graphene, as a novel two-dimensional material, possesses a thermal conductivity far exceeding that of traditional thermal management materials, effectively addressing the heat dissipation challenges of various devices. This project focuses on the thermal dissipation properties of graphene. It comprehensively reviews various graphene-based thermal management materials, summarizing their performance characteristics, primary preparation methods along with their respective advantages and disadvantages. It also compares novel graphene heat sinks with traditional ones, thereby summarizing their practical applications across various fields and future trends.
