Graphene-Based Photocatalysts for Hydrogen Generation.

Graphene-based photocatalysts have gained increasing interest as a viable alternate to increase photocatalytic H2 production performance in converting solar energy into chemical energy. The use of graphene to enhance the efficiency of photocatalysts has been proved due to its unique two-dimensional conjugated structure and electronic properties. In this Perspective, we have summarized the recent significant advances on the design and applications of graphene-based photocatalytic composites. The rational designs for high-performance photocatalysts using graphene-based materials are described. The applications of the new materials in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution are presented. Finally, the ongoing challenges and opportunities for the future development of graphene-based photocatalysts are also proposed.
