Recent progress on graphene-based photocatalysts: current status and future perspectives
Abstract
Graphene (GR) has become a sparkling rising star on the horizon of material science. Due to its unique planar structure, excellent transparency, superior electron conductivity and mobility, high specific surface area, and high chemical stability, GR is regarded as an ideal high performance candidate to prepare GR-based nanocomposites for energy storage and conversion. During the past few years, GR-based photocatalysts have been attracting ever-increasing research attention. In this tutorial review, the applications of GR-based nanocomposites in photocatalysis, including nonselective processes for degradation of pollutants, selective transformations for organic synthesis and water splitting to clean hydrogen energy, are summarized systematically. In particular, in addition to discussing opportunities offered by GR, we will also describe the existing challenges for future exploitation and development of GR-based nanocomposites, which we hope would significantly advance us to rationally and efficiently harness the outstanding structural and electronic properties of GR to design smarter and more efficient GR-based photocatalysts instead of joining the graphene "gold rush".

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
