Abstract
Carbon nanofillers in general and graphene in particular are considered as promising potential candidates in catalysis due to their two-dimensional (2D) nature, zero bandwidth, single atom thickness with a promising high surface area: volume ratio. Additionally, graphene oxide via result of tunable electrical properties has also been developed as a catalytic support for metal and metal oxide nanofillers. Moreover, the possession of higher chemical stability followed by ultrahigh thermal conductivity plays a prominent role in promoting higher reinforcement of catalytically active sites. In this review we have started with an overview of carbon nanofillers as catalyst support, their main characteristics and applications for their use in heterogeneous catalysis. The review article also critically focusses on the catalytic properties originating from both functional groups as well as doping. An in-depth literature on the various reaction catalysed by metal oxide based nanoparticles supported on GO/rGO has also been incorporated with a special focus on the overall catalytic efficiency with respect to graphene contribution. The future research prospective in the aforementioned field has also been discussed.
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Record (TCR) is a "highlights" journal publishing timely and critical overviews of new developments at the cutting edge of chemistry of interest to a wide audience of chemists (2013 journal impact factor: 5.577). The scope of published reviews includes all areas related to physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology and medicinal chemistry as well as interdisciplinary fields.
TCR provides carefully selected highlight papers by leading researchers that introduce the author''s own experimental and theoretical results in a framework designed to establish perspectives with earlier and contemporary work and provide a critical review of the present state of the subject. The articles are intended to present concise evaluations of current trends in chemistry research to help chemists gain useful insights into fields outside their specialization and provide experts with summaries of recent key developments.
