Graphene-based materials have peculiar optical, electrical, mechanical and chemical properties, which make them useful for making thin films and thick sheets suitable for different needs. Matter physics, nuclear physics, microelectronics, biomedicine, engineering, agriculture and cultural heritage just represent some of the sectors in which these materials can be successfully used. The advancements allow us to go from a given graphene-based material to another transforming, for example, the insulator graphene oxide to electrically and thermally conductive reduced graphene oxide. Thanks to the interesting properties possessed by graphene-based materials, it is possible to realize gas sensors, dosimeters for ionizing radiation, light detectors, electronic devices, membranes for gases and desalination, biocompatible surfaces, medical protheses and thin coating films to preserve underlying layers. Different analysis techniques are presented to control the physical modifications of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) due to the different treatments for the pristine one. The paper reports the possibility to realize GO micro-dosimeters for ionizing radiations, sensors for air humidity and other gases, field effect transistors as the detector of visible and UV radiations, GO and rGO membranes realization for different gases, source ion strippers to enhance the charge state of different ions to be accelerated. Some of these aspects and possible applications will be presented and discussed with measurements carried out in our laboratories.
