At present, the main raw material for producing graphene is graphite ore. However, researchers actively seek alternative resources due to their high cost and environmental problems. Biomass waste has attracted much attention due to its carbon-rich structure and renewability, emerging as a potential raw material for graphene production to be used in sports equipment. However, further progress is required on the quality of graphene produced from waste biomass. This paper, therefore, summarizes the properties, structures, and production processes of graphene and its derivatives, as well as the inherent advantages of biomass waste-derived graphene. Finally, this paper reviews graphene's importance and application prospects in sports since this wonder material has made sports equipment available with high-strength and lightweight quality. Moreover, its outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity is exploited to prepare wearable sensors to collect more accurate sports data, thus helping to improve athletes' training levels and competitive performance. Although the large-scale production of biomass waste-derived graphene has yet to be realized, it is expected that its application will expand to various other fields due to the associated low cost and environmental friendliness of the preparation technique.
目前，生产石墨烯的主要原材料是石墨矿。然而，由于其成本高昂和环境问题，研究人员积极寻找替代资源。生物质废弃物因其富含碳的结构和可再生性而备受关注，成为用于体育器材的石墨烯生产的潜在原材料。然而，从废弃生物质中生产的石墨烯的质量仍需进一步提高。因此，本文总结了石墨烯及其衍生物的性质、结构和生产工艺，以及生物质废弃物衍生石墨烯的固有优势。最后，本文回顾了石墨烯在体育领域的重要性和应用前景，因为这种神奇材料使体育器材具备了高强度和轻质的特性。此外，利用其出色的热导率和电导率制备可穿戴传感器，以收集更准确的运动数据，从而有助于提高运动员的训练水平和竞技表现。尽管生物质废弃物衍生石墨烯的大规模生产尚未实现，但由于制备技术相关的低成本和环境友好性，预计其应用将扩展到其他各个领域。
