Abstract

Nanocomposite material proves to be the best candidate to match todays technological need as fascinating properties can be achieved by combining two or more nanomaterials. Among various nanomaterials, graphene is able to stand out far ahead of all others because of its novel structure and exclusive characteristics. In particular, graphene metal nanocomposites have attracted enormous interest for their prospective use in various fields, including electronics and electrical and energy related areas. However, for the utmost use of potential of graphene, it has to be homogenously embedded into metal matrices. Thus, appropriate synthesis route is decisive to obtain graphene metal nanocomposites with desired properties. This chapter will summarize the different synthesis routes of high quality graphene metal nanocomposites along with their current developments.
