Abstract
Due to their extra-large surface area and porosity, high compression power, hydrophobicity, and strong activity characteristics, there have been increasing interests in applying graphene-based materials for pollutant control and disinfection. The topics covered from photocatalytic reactions in the dye removal and organic conversions in liquid or gas phase, disinfection, oil absorption, and pollutant adsorption. In this manuscript, the characteristics of the photocatalytic reactions for toxins and pollutants like toxic hydrocarbons, carbon dioxides, and dye wastewater, removal of pollutants like oil and heavy metal ions via absorption/adsorption, and disinfection by different graphene-based materials via adsorption inactivation or photocatalytic inactivation will be emphasized. The challenges in pollutant removal research by graphene-based materials, such as the deactivation of graphene-based materials in photocatalytic pollutant removal reactions which was discovered recently and solutions to the corresponding weaknesses were discussed.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Solid State Chemistry offers critical reviews and specialized articles written by leading experts in the field, providing a comprehensive view of solid-state chemistry. It addresses the challenge of dispersed literature by offering up-to-date assessments of research progress and recent developments. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between physical properties and structural chemistry, particularly imperfections like vacancies and dislocations. The reviews published in Progress in Solid State Chemistry emphasize critical evaluation of the field, along with indications of current problems and future directions. Papers are not intended to be bibliographic in nature but rather to inform a broad range of readers in an inherently multidisciplinary field by providing expert treatises oriented both towards specialists in different areas of the solid state and towards nonspecialists. The authorship is international, and the subject matter will be of interest to chemists, materials scientists, physicists, metallurgists, crystallographers, ceramists, and engineers interested in the solid state.
