Catalytic uses of graphene and its composities have shown promising results.
In this Catalysis Science & Technology HOT Minireview Bruno Machado and Philippe Serp give a broad overview of topics relating to graphene and its application in synthesis and catalysis. The outstanding physical, chemical and mechanical properties of graphene have attracted huge amounts of attention and Machaso and Serp attempt to distill out the properties and characterisation techniques of graphene that are pertinent to catalysis.
