Recently, direct chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of graphene on various types of glasses has emerged as a promising route to produce graphene glass, with advantages such as tunable quality, excellent film uniformity and potential scalability. Crucial to the performance of this graphene‐coated glass is that the outstanding properties of graphene are fully retained for endowing glass with new surface characteristics, making direct‐CVD‐derived graphene glass versatile enough for developing various applications for daily life. Herein, recent advances in the synthesis of graphene glass, particularly via direct CVD approaches, are presented. Key applications of such graphene materials in transparent conductors, smart windows, simple heating devices, solar‐cell electrodes, cell culture medium, and water harvesters are also highlighted.
