Abstract
New fibers with increased strength and rich functionalities have been untiringly pursued by materials researchers. In recent years, graphene fiber has arisen as a new carbonaceous fiber with high expectations in terms of mechanical and functional performance. In this review, we elucidated the concept of sprouted graphene fibers, including strategies for their fabrication and their basic structural attributes. We examine the rapid advances in the promotion of mechanical/functional properties of graphene fibers, and summarize their versatile applications as multifunctional textiles. Finally, a tentative prospect is presented. We hope this review will lead to further work on this new fiber species.
