Enormous amounts of research and development are currently underway in the arena of improving threedimensional graphene and graphene oxide networks for use as foams, sponges and aerogels for a wide range of applications. The underlying reason for the interest in 3D grapheme can be attributed to the splendid intrinsic and extrinsic properties brought as a result of the 3D porous structures which has given rise to high specific surface areas, good mechanical strength, fast mass and electron movement. Therefore a review about the present modes of fabrication, material properties and the applications of 3D grapheme with strong emphasis on highly efficient graphene sponges and graphene foams is expounded. Following on from this, a concrete understanding of the fabrication of functionalized graphene aerogel for use in oil water separation will be addressed. To add on, the superiority of thr..
