A holistic review of cement composites reinforced with graphene oxide

Adopting a holistic review approach, this study started from the scientometric analysis by analyzing the mainstream journals, keywords, scholars, publications, and institutions active in the research of cement composites reinforced with graphene oxide (GO). Further statistical summary of research themes and in-depth discussion addressed the current research findings and gaps in terms of workability, mechanical properties, durability, and other issues when adding GO into cementitious materials. Recommendations for future research were provided, including but not limited to the necessity to study the long-term mechanical properties of cement composites reinforced with GO, and the application of GO in concrete.
