Design of graphene-based TiO2 photocatalysts - A review Morales Torres, Sergio Pastrana Martínez, Luisa María Figueiredo, José L. Faria, Joaquim L. Silva, Adrián M. T. There is a recent increase in the interest of de- signing high-performance photocatalysts using graphene- based materials. This review gathers some important aspects of graphene–TiO 2 , graphene oxide–TiO 2 , and reduced gra- phene oxide–TiO 2 composites, which are of especial rele- vance as next generation photocatalysts. The methods used for the preparation of these materials, the associated mech- anistic fundamentals, and the application of graphene-based composites on the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants are reviewed. Some structural, textural, and chemical prop- erties of these materials and other photo-assisted applica- tions, such as hydrogen production from water splitting and dye-sensitized solar cells, are also briefly included 2024-02-02T12:25:59Z 2024-02-02T12:25:59Z 2012-07-11 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Published version: Environ Sci Pollut Res (2012) 19:3676–3687. doi:10.1007/s11356-012-0939-4 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/88022 10.1007/s11356-012-0939-4 eng eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/227017 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Springer Nature
