Graphene Oxide and its Applications in Catalysis

Abstract

Graphene, a two-dimensional carbon material, has attracted tremendous research interest in recent years due to its exceptional properties, such as excellent electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. Meanwhile, various kinds of novel functional materials based on Graphene oxide are employed in different fields like solar cell, sensor and catalysis. With the increasing number of catalysts during synthesizing graphene-based composites, the development of catalysis science and technology will surely be promoted. This paper reviews recent advances in the preparation and structure of graphene oxide, especially its applications in catalysis fields.
