From an electrochemist's perspective, the tunable 3D morphology of laser-induced graphene (LIG) offers flexibility in electrochemical applications by tailoring the structure by adjusting laser parameters, environment, substrate and composition to control properties, like surface area, porosity and defects. However, widespread practical adoption of LIG electrodes faces challenges related to the cost of raw materials, energy consumption, fabrication time, number of steps, post-treatments, marketability, scale of production and profitability.
