Abstract:
The great application potential of photocatalysis technology with green and safe characteristics has been shown on the field of energy and environment. Over recent years, the organic photocatalysts have been familiar with their advantages of visible light response, low cost and also some shortcomings. Graphene materials which surface area was large and high carrier mobility have natural advantages in the field of catalyst construction. The graphene-organic semiconductor as an photocatalysis materials, this work introduced three typical graphene-organic photocatalysis materials: Graphene/conjugated polymer, graphene/metal organic framework and graphene/dye and various synthesis methods. This work have discussed some application fields of energy and environment, including photocatalysis of water for hydrogen evolution, CO
2 reduction, organic matter degradation, heavy metal ion reduction and bacterial inactivation etc. Some suggestions for future development of the graphene materials with organic compound photocatalyst are given.
