16 years after the great discovery of graphene, the focus and attention are again on this material after the report of its superconducting behavior depending on the stacking of its layers. The graphene has not only been related to superconductivity but has also been related to a wide diversity of applications, in very diverse disciplines. Among them, we can mention: Opto-electronic materials, electrodes for catalysis, devices for waste-water treatment, biosensors, batteries, and solar cells. This has caused a large number of research groups to be interested not only in the study of its properties, but also in the research of new synthetic methods that can be scaled to industrial levels, without losing its electronic and mechanical properties. Despite numerous studies and resources invested in graphene, not all applications have become a reality, some of the most successful are shown in this review.

Palabras clave : Graphene; water treatment; optoelectronic materials; energy storage; biosensors.
