This book provides a comprehensive overview of graphene-based photocatalysts, from the fundamentals to the applications. Graphene, the special material of the twenty-first century, has unique properties that make it an ideal candidate for use in photocatalytic activities. The book explores the basic principles of  photocatalysis, including its mechanism and classification, and provides a historical overview and future prospects for the field. The synthesis and characterization of graphene for photocatalytic applications are discussed in detail, including controlling factors for graphene synthesis and its unique properties that make it an effective photocatalyst. It also covers a range of applications for graphene-based photocatalysts, including photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, hydrogen generation, water splitting, disinfection, and other potential uses. In addition, the book addresses strategies for enhancing photocatalytic activity and the factors that affect it. The economic perspective of cost-benefit analysis and life cycle assessment are also discussed. 

It is a valuable resource for researchers, academics, and professionals working in the field of photocatalysis and ideal for those interested in the latest developments in graphene-based photocatalysts and their potential applications, including researchers, academics, and professionals in the fields of materials science, chemistry, and chemical engineering.

This book delves into the cutting-edge applications of graphene-based photocatalysts, unveiling their immense potential in addressing two critical global challenges: sustainable hydrogen production and environmental remediation. Through insightful analysis of the state of the art, the book highlights the remarkable capabilities of these innovative materials in harnessing the power of light to drive chemical reactions. By exploring the synthesis, characterization, and mechanisms of graphene-based photocatalysts, the book provides knowledge not only about the fundamental concepts but also recent advancements in water splitting for hydrogen generation, as well as the degradation of persistent organic pollutants and greenhouse gases. With its extensive coverage and interdisciplinary approach, this resource is tailored for a diverse readership, including materials scientists, chemists, photocatalysis experts, environmental engineers, and professionals working in the fields of renewable energy, water treatment, and environmental remediation.
