Abstract: Graphene and its derivatives show potential applications in cementious engineering because they can remarkably improve the tensile strength, toughness, durability of the cement-based materials and give additional functionality to the composites due to their unique structure and excellent properties. In this paper, the structural characteristics and properties of graphene and graphene oxide (GO) are briefly described, and their preparation methods are also summarized; the dispersion of graphene and its derivatives in cement-based materials is reviewed; the research progress of mechanical properties, rheological properties, electrical properties, thermal properties and pressure-sensitive properties of graphene and its derivatives mixed cement-based materials are mainly reviewed. Finally the current problem and research trends are further analyzed.
