“…TiO 2 with a wide band gap of 3.2 eV can absorb ultraviolet (UV) which contains only ∼4% of the solar spectrum. Thus, its practical application is limited [4][5][6][7]. To utilize solar energy with high efficiency, visible-light-driven photocatalysts which can absorb 48% of the solar spectrum have been intensively investigated [1,[4][5][6][7].…”

“…Moreover, under the irradiation of light, particularly solar light, the photocatalytic treatment yields CO 2 , H 2 O, and other nontoxic compounds. A complete degradation of the dyes occurs at a large extent under ambient conditions of temperature and pressure [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. However, the photocatalyst itself remains unchanged during the treatment process.…”

“…This activity attained a value of 93% for the NCPs prepared using the sol-gel method that is followed by the hydrothermal treatment and a value of 82% for the NCPs prepared using the hydrothermal route only [ 13 ]. Some other Gr-based binary NCPs, such as the GO/TiO 2 hydrogel [ 12 ], TiO 2 -doped calcined mussel shell [ 11 ], Gr/SnO 2 [ 15 ], Gr/ZnO [ 21 ], ZnO-decorated GO [ 22 ], Gr/CeO 2 [ 14 ], and Bi 2 MoO 6 /rGO aerogel NCPs [ 9 ] were evaluated for the photocatalytic degradation of MB under visible light illumination. Moreover, ternary composites, such as rGO/Fe 3 O 4 /TiO 2 [ 3 ], Fe 2 O 3 /Gr/CuO [ 5 ], GO/mesoporous TiO 2 /Au [ 10 ], and MoO 3 /Fe 2 O 3 /rGO NCPs [ 1 ] were investigated.…”

Photocatalytic Properties of Graphene/Gold and Graphene Oxide/Gold Nanocomposites Synthesized by Pulsed Laser Induced Photolysis

Graphene (Gr)/gold (Au) and graphene-oxide (GO)/Au nanocomposites (NCPs) were synthesized by performing pulsed-laser-induced photolysis (PLIP) on hydrogen peroxide and chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) that coexisted with Gr or GO in an aqueous solution. A 3-month-long aqueous solution stability was observed in the NCPs synthesized without using surfactants and additional processing. The synthesized NCPs were characterized using absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction to prove the existence of hybrid Gr/Au or GO/Au NCPs. The synthesized NCPs were further evaluated using the photocatalytic reaction of methylene blue (MB), a synthetic dye, under UV radiation, visible light (central wavelength of 470 nm), and full spectrum of solar light. Both Gr/Au and GO/Au NCPs exhibited photocatalytic degradation of MB under solar light illumination with removal efficiencies of 92.1% and 94.5%, respectively.

The past few years have witnessed a surge of interest in the development of carbon aerogel‐based photocatalysts, stemming from their fascinating characteristics that encompass the inherent properties of 2D carbon‐based nanomaterials and unique 3D structural features. Benefitting from their auspicious physicochemical characteristics, including low density, abundant active sites, and remarkable electrical conductivity, carbon aerogels have emerged as promising candidates for photocatalysis in energy and environmental applications. Thus, this review presents a panorama of state‐of‐the‐art advancements underlying the synthesis and modifications of carbon aerogel‐based nanocomposites for enhanced performance in photocatalytic applications. The synthetic strategies followed by the unique roles of carbon aerogel are highlighted to decipher the auspicious roles of carbon aerogels in bolstering photocatalytic activity. Additionally, the fundamental mechanism behind carbon aerogel‐based photocatalysts as well as their modifications are thoroughly discussed. Thereafter, the works on the photocatalytic applications of carbon aerogel in solar‐driven hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, pollutant decontamination, and bacteria inactivation, in the past 5 years are summarized with insights into charge dynamics being unveiled. Lastly, this review will prospect the ongoing challenges and future outlook of carbon aerogel‐based heterostructures in photocatalysis, aiming to facilitate the development of carbon aerogel‐based photocatalysts at the forefront of this research.
