abstract = {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},
