Abstract: Ultra-thin graphene has been receiving significance in the diverse sections of material science, owing to its exceptional physicochemical and thermo-mechanical characteristics. Currently, the fabrication of high-grade graphene in an economical target and green procedures area is a massive concern. Among the diverse techniques, chemical-mediated fabrication is believed to be the finest process since it is simple, scalable, and of low-cost; however, it involves noxious or hazardous chemical reducers for producing functional graphene-based Nanocomposites (NCs). Therefore, around the globe, scientists are endeavoring to adopt the bioinspired techniques to manufacture the functional reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) and reduced Graphene Oxide-Metal/Metal Oxide (rGO-M/MO) NCs. Hence, keeping this issue in mind, the present review article summarize and integrates the current state of knowledge about the diverse bioinspired strategies developed to obtain rGO and rGO-M/MO NCs and their photocatalytic, antibacterial, and cytotoxic assessments.
