Photocatalytic technology has been widely studied by researchers in the field of environmental purification. This technology can not only completely convert organic pollutants into small molecules of CO2and H2O through redox reactions but also remove metal ions and other inorganic substances from water. T...
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) received much attention in the field of water and wastewater treatment due to its ability to mineralize persistent organic pollutants from water medium. The addition of graphene-based materials increased the efficiency of all AOPs significantly. The present review anal...
Photocatalysts enables the acceleration of a photo reaction by generating electron-hole pairs to form free radicals. These free radicals then leads to the secondary reactions. The field of nanoscience have contributed a lot to the field of photocatalysis. One of its new invention is to combine the...

Heterojunctions based on graphene-metal oxide composite semiconductors have also been reported as photocatalysts for pharmaceutical degradation. The degradation of three pharmaceuticals: bisphenol-A (BPA), ibuprofen (IBP) and flurbiprofen (FBP) by graphene oxide based TiO2-ZnO heterojunction was reported by...
Near-infrared (NIR)-response photocatalysts are desired to make use of 44% NIR solar irradiation. A flower-like α-MnO2/N-doped graphene (NG) hybrid catalyst was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV–vis–NIR diffu...
Herein, in order to research the heterojunction interface, a series of SrTiO3 photocatalysts with different crystal facets were fabricated to be loaded with the rGO for photocatalytic H-2 evolution. The characterizations and theory calculation verified that the rGO was mainly anchored on the Ti-O ...
Heterojunction photocatalyst with efficient photocatalytic performance can remarkably promote the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. Herein, a ternary photocatalyst, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) based CeO2 modified with CdS (CeO2/CdS/RGO), was synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal ...
However, compact data on graphene-based single-atom photocatalysts for photocatalytic CO2 transformation and hydrogen H2 production are not reported yet. As a result, we mean to present the advancement of graphene-based SACs for effective CO2 reduction and H2 production. The most recent developments ...
