Abstract
Low-cost, rapid, and easy-to-use biosensors for various cancer biomarkers are of utmost importance in detecting cancer biomarkers for early-stage metastasis control and efficient diagnosis. The molecular complexity of cancer biomarkers is overwhelming, thus, the repeatability and reproducibility of measurements by biosensors are critical factors. Electrochemical biosensors are attractive alternatives in cancer diagnosis due to their low cost, simple operation, and promising analytical figures of merit. Recently graphene-derived nanostructures have been used extensively for the fabrication of electrochemical biosensors because of their unique physicochemical properties, including the high electrical conductivity, adsorption capacity, low cost and ease of mass production, presence of oxygen-containing functional groups that facilitate the bioreceptor immobilization, increased flexibility and mechanical strength, low cellular toxicity. Indeed, these properties make them advantageous compared to other alternatives. However, some drawbacks must be overcome to extend their use, such as poor and uncontrollable deposition on the substrate due to the low dispersity of some graphene materials and irreproducibility of the results because of the differences in various batches of the produced graphene materials. This review has documented the most recently developed strategies for electrochemical sensor fabrication. It differs in the categorization method compared to published works to draw greater attention to the wide opportunities of graphene nanomaterials for biological applications. Limitations and future scopes are discussed to advance the integration of novel technologies such as artificial intelligence, the internet of medical things, and triboelectric nanogenerators to eventually increase efficacy and efficiency.

Abstract
Due to the manufacturability of highly well-defined structures and wide-range versatility in its microstructure, SiO2 is an attractive template for synthesizing graphene frameworks with the desired pore structure. However, its intrinsic inertness constrains the graphene formation via methane chemical vapor deposition. This work overcomes this challenge by successfully achieving uniform graphene coating on a trimethylsilyl-modified SiO2 (denote TMS-MPS). Remarkably, the onset temperature for graphene growth dropped to 720 °C for the TMS-MPS, as compared to the 885 °C of the pristine SiO2. This is found to be mainly from the Si radicals formed from the decomposition of the surface TMS groups. Both experimental and computational results suggest a strong catalytic effect of the Si radicals on the CH4 dissociation. The surface engineering of SiO2 templates facilitates the synthesis of high-quality graphene sheets. As a result, the graphene-coated SiO2 composite exhibits a high electrical conductivity of 0.25 S cm-1. Moreover, the removal of the TMP-MPS template has released a graphene framework that replicates the parental TMS-MPS template on both micro- and nano- scales. This study provides tremendous insights into graphene growth chemistries as well as establishes a promising methodology for synthesizing graphene-based materials with pre-designed microstructures and porosity.

Abstract
Photocatalysis, as an inexpensive and safe technology to convert solar energy, is essential for the efficient utilization of sustainable renewable energy sources. Earth-abundant cobalt sulfide-based composites have generated great interest in the field of solar fuel conversion because of their cheap, diverse structures and facile preparation. Over the past 10 years, the number of reports on cobalt sulfide-based photocatalysts has increased year by year, and more than 500 publications on the application of cobalt sulfide groups in photocatalysis can be found in the last three years. In this review, we initially summarize the four common strategies for preparing cobalt sulfide-based composite materials. Then, the multiple roles of cobalt sulfide-based cocatalysts in photocatalysis have been discussed. After that, we present the latest progress of cobalt sulfide in four fields of photocatalysis application, including photocatalytic hydrogen production, carbon dioxide reduction, nitrogen fixation, and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. Finally, the development prospects and challenges of cobalt sulfide-based photocatalysts are discussed. This review is expected to provide useful reference for the construction of high-performance cobalt sulfide-based composite photocatalytic materials for sustainable solar-chemical energy conversion.

Abstract
A novel magnetic core-shell Fe3O4@SiO2@CdS embedded graphene oxide (GO) composite was prepared for the visible-light-driven photodegradation of high ring number polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The potential application of GO-Fe3O4@SiO2@CdS was evaluated through the photodegradation of phenanthrene and pyrene in deionized water, tap water, and lake water, respectively. It was found that GO-Fe3O4@SiO2@CdS could remove 86.4 % of phenanthrene and 93.4 % of pyrene, suggesting its potential for the degradation of high-ring number PAHs. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that pyrene has more active sites attacked by free radicals. The photoelectrochemical measurement and quenching experiments indicate that GO can transfer photoelectrons efficiently, resulting in the crucial radicals (O2-, OH and 1O2). More importantly, the photocatalytic activity kept almost constant during five cycles, confirming the significant anti-photocorrosion of GO-Fe3O4@SiO2@CdS. This work provides some new insights into the removal of PAHs with high-ring numbers in the natural water environment.

Abstract
Nanoparticles can be used as inhibitory agents against various microorganisms, including bacteria, algae, archaea, fungi, and a huge class of viruses. The mechanism of action includes inhibiting the function of the cell membrane/stopping the synthesis of the cell membrane, disturbing the transduction of energy, producing toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inhibiting or reducing RNA and DNA production. Various nanomaterials, including different metallic, silicon, and carbon-based nanomaterials and nanoarchitectures, have been successfully used against different viruses. Recent research strongly agrees that these nanoarchitecture-based virucidal materials (nano-antivirals) have shown activity in the solid state. Therefore, they are very useful in the development of several products, such as fabric and high-touch surfaces. This review thoroughly and critically identifies recently developed nano-antivirals and their products, nano-antiviral deposition methods on various substrates, and possible mechanisms of action. By considering the commercial viability of nano-antivirals, recommendations are made to develop scalable and sustainable nano-antiviral products with contact-killing properties.

Abstract
Graphene and its composites with semiconductor materials have been received highly attention in many research areas because of their unique properties. Efficient application of graphene is hindered by the lack of cost-effective synthesis methods. In this work, an economic and facile route for mass production of graphene-titanate nanocomposite has been discussed. Graphene was prepared by exfoliation of graphite powder in 40% ethanol aqueous solution. Titanate nanotubes were grown on graphene sheets by hydrothermal method, where the dispersed graphene sheets were mixed with titanate solution and then placed in autoclave and placed in oven for 16 h at 160 °C. The prepared composite was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). All the obtained results confirmed the synthesis of graphene and its composite with titanate in highly uniform and pure form. The adsorption efficiency of the prepared composite was tested using methylene blue (MB) as a model dye. The adsorption isotherm was investigated using Freundlich and Langmuir models. The adsorption capacity of MB was 270.27 mg/g. The obtained correlation coefficients (R2) by Freundlich and Langmuir model were 0.996 and 0.973, respectively. The adsorption kinetics was investigated and discussed using different models. The thermal stability of the developed composite is improved after MB adsorption.

Abstract
Photocatalytic H2 evolution from haloid acid (HX) solution by metal halide perovskites (MHPs) has been intensively investigated; however, the corrosive acid solution severely restricts its practical operability. Therefore, developing acid-free schemes for H2 evolution using MHPs is highly desired. Here, we investigate the photocatalytic anaerobic dehydrogenation of alcohols over a series of MHPs (APbX3, A = Cs+, CH3NH3+ (MA), CH(NH2)2+ (FA); X = Cl-, Br-, I-) to simultaneously produce H2 and aldehydes. Via the coassembly of Pt and rGO nanosheets on MAPbBr3 microcrystals, the optimal MAPbBr3/rGO-Pt reaches a H2 evolution rate of 3150 μmol g-1 h-1 under visible light irradiation (780 nm ≥ λ ≥ 400 nm), which is more than 105-fold higher than pure MAPbBr3 (30 μmol g-1 h-1). The present work not only brings new ample opportunities toward photocatalytic H2 evolution but also opens up new avenues for more effective utilization of MHPs in photocatalysis.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease-2019 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been one of the most challenging worldwide epidemics of recent times. Semiconducting materials (photocatalysts) could prove effectual solar-light-driven technology on account of variant reactive oxidative species (ROS), including superoxide (•O2 - ) and hydroxyl (•OH) radicals either by degradation of proteins, DNA, RNA, or preventing cell development by terminating cellular membrane. Graphene-based materials have been exquisitely explored for antiviral applications due to their extraordinary physicochemical features including large specific surface area, robust mechanical strength, tunable structural features, and high electrical conductivity. Considering that, the present study highlights a perspective on the potentials of graphene based materials for photocatalytic antiviral activity. The interaction of virus with the surface of graphene based nanomaterials and the consequent physical, as well as ROS induced inactivation process, has been highlighted and discussed. It is highly anticipated that the present review article emphasizing mechanistic antiviral insights could accelerate further research in this field.

Abstract
Discharge of antibiotic-containing wastewater causes environmental pollution and threatens biological and human health. An efficient treatment method for this wastewater is urgently required. We prepared inorganic-organic hybrid MXene-pillararene nanosheets with a large lateral size (5-8 μm). The hybrid nanosheets were stacked on supports via vacuum-assisted filtration to prepare membranes with regular parallel slits and an interlayer spacing of 1.36 nm, which were used to purify antibiotic-containing water. Permeance through the membrane increased 100-fold compared with most polymeric and other two-dimensional nanofiltration membranes with similar rejection. This high permeance and rejection was attributed to the large lateral size of the nanosheets, regular interlayer spacing, and electrostatic interaction between the membrane and antibiotics. These membranes will broaden the applications of lamellar materials for the separation of high-value-added drugs in academia and industry.

Abstract
Water oxidation process is a pivotal step of photosynthesis and stimulates the progress of high-performance catalysts for renewable fuel production. Despite the performance benefit of cocatalysts, defect engineering holds promise to settle inherent limitations of semiconductors aiming at sluggish water oxidation. Here, we modify the in situ growth pathway of monoclinic BiVO4 (m-BiVO4) on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), constructing abundant surface oxygen vacancies (OV)-incorporated m-BiVO4/rGO heterostructure toward water oxidation reaction under visible light. Owing to the OV in the m-BiVO4 component, a vacancy-related defect level allows more electrons to be photoexcited by low-energy photons to cause the electron transition, boosting photoabsorption as well as photoexcitation. Besides, the OV can reinforce surface adsorption and reduce the dissociation energy of water molecules. Particularly because of the synergy of OV and cocatalyst rGO, the OV functions as electron-trapped sites to facilitate the carrier separation; the rGO not only receives electrons from m-BiVO4 promoted by internal electric field over Mott-Schottky heterostructures but also spurs further electron diffusion along a highly conductive carbon network. These merits enable the OV-incorporated m-BiVO4/rGO heterostructure with an over 209% growth in O2 yield relative to the counterpart. The increased performance is also validated by the significant rise of •OH radicals and •O2- radicals. The current work paves a novel avenue for the integration of defect engineering and cocatalyst coupling in artificial photosynthesis.

Photocatalytic Anaerobic Oxidation of Aromatic Alcohols Coupled With H2 Production Over CsPbBr3/GO-Pt Catalysts. Front Chem 2022; 10:833784.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have been widely investigated for various photocatalytic applications. However, the dual-functional reaction system integrated selective organic oxidation with H2 production over MHPs is rarely reported. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the selective oxidation of aromatic alcohols to aldehydes integrated with hydrogen (H2) evolution over Pt-decorated CsPbBr3. Especially, the functionalization of CsPbBr3 with graphene oxide (GO) further improves the photoactivity of the perovskite catalyst. The optimal amount of CsPbBr3/GO-Pt exhibits an H2 evolution rate of 1,060 μmol g−1 h−1 along with high selectivity (>99%) for benzyl aldehyde generation (1,050 μmol g−1 h−1) under visible light (λ > 400 nm), which is about five times higher than the CsPbBr3-Pt sample. The enhanced activity has been ascribed to two effects induced by the introduction of GO: 1) GO displays a structure-directing role, decreasing the particle size of CsPbBr3 and 2) GO and Pt act as electron reservoirs, extracting the photogenerated electrons and prohibiting the recombination of the electron–hole pairs. This study opens new avenues to utilize metal halide perovskites as dual-functional photocatalysts to perform selective organic transformations and solar fuel production.

Abstract
The growing prevalence of new toxins in the environment continues to cause widespread concerns. Pharmaceuticals, organic pollutants, heavy metal ions, endocrine-disrupting substances, microorganisms, and others are examples of persistent organic chemicals whose effects are unknown because they have recently entered the environment and are displaying up in wastewater treatment facilities. Pharmaceutical pollutants in discharged wastewater have become a danger to animals, marine species, humans, and the environment. Although their presence in drinking water has generated significant concerns, little is known about their destiny and environmental effects. As a result, there is a rising need for selective, sensitive, quick, easy-to-handle, and low-cost early monitoring detection systems. This study aims to deliver an overview of a low-cost carbon-based composite to detect and remove pharmaceutical components from wastewater using the literature reviews and bibliometric analysis technique from 1970 to 2021 based on the web of science (WoS) database. Various pollutants in water and soil were reviewed, and different methods were introduced to detect pharmaceutical pollutants. The advantages and drawbacks of varying carbon-based materials for sensing and removing pharmaceutical wastes were also introduced. Finally, the available techniques for wastewater treatment, challenges and future perspectives on the recent progress were highlighted. The suggestions in this article will facilitate the development of novel on-site methods for removing emerging pollutants from pharmaceutical effluents and commercial enterprises.

Abstract
From the viewpoint of sustainability, graphene-like metal-free 2D nanomaterials (GMFs) hold great potential in different photocatalytic fields due to their distinct structures and properties. Although their lattice structures are highly similar, the properties of these nanomaterials are in vast diversity owing to the uniqueness of particular atomic arrangement, thus giving rise to their multi-faceted functionalities in photocatalytic process. In this review, we summarize the latest progress of GMFs and their hybrid composites in photocatalytic field, including graphene and its derivatives, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), black phosphorus (BP) and emerging 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Their unique 2D structure and key photocatalytic properties are firstly briefly introduced. Then a critical discussion on their multiple roles in the activity enhancement of composite photocatalysts is emphasized, which in turn points out the direction of maximizing their functions and guides our efficient construction of hybrid photocatalysts based on above 2D nanomaterials. On this basis, a summary about the hybridization of above 2D metal-free materials is presented, and the merits of 2D/2D hybrid systems are elaborated. Last, we wrap up this review with some summative remarks, covering understanding their own unique strengths and weaknesses by comparison and proposing the major challenges and perspectives in this emerging field.

Abstract
The promising solar irradiated photocatalyst by pairing of bismuth oxide quantum dots (BQDs) doped TiO2 with nitrogen doped graphene oxide (NGO) nanocomposite (NGO/BQDs-TiO2) was fabricated. It was used for degradation of organic pollutants like 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and stable dyes, i.e. Rhodamine B and Congo Red. X-ray diffraction (XRD) profile of NGO showed reduction in oxygenic functional groups and restoring of graphitic crystal structure. The characteristic diffraction peaks of TiO2 and its composites showed crystalline anatase TiO2. Morphological images represent spherical shaped TiO2 evenly covered with BQDs spread on NGO sheet. The surface linkages of NO-O-Ti, C-O-Ti, Bi-O-Ti and vibrational modes are observed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman studies. BQDs and NGO modified TiO2 results into red shifting in visible region as studied in diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). NGO and BQDs in TiO2 are linked with defect centers which reduced the recombination of free charge carriers by quenching of photoluminescence (PL) intensities. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that no peak related to C-O in NGO/BQDs-TiO2 is observed. This indicated that doping of nitrogen into GO has reduced some oxygen functional groups. Nitrogen functionalities in NGO and photosensitizing effect of BQDs in ternary composite have improved photocatalytic activity against organic pollutants. Intermediate byproducts during photo degradation process of 2,4-DCP were studied through high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Study of radical scavengers indicated that O2·- has significant role for degradation of 2,4-DCP. Our investigations propose that fabricated nanohybrid architecture has potential for degradation of environmental pollutions.

Abstract
The increasing demands of environmentally sustainable, affordable, and scalable materials have inspired researchers to explore greener nanosystems of unique properties which can enhance the performance of existing systems. Such nanosystems, extracted from nature, are state-of-art high-performance nanostructures due to intrinsic hierarchical micro/nanoscale architecture and generous interfacial interactions in natural resources. Among several, bio-inspired nanosystems graphene nanosystems have emerged as an essential nano-platform wherein a highly electroactive, scalable, functional, flexible, and adaptable to a living being is a key factor. Preliminary investigation project bio-inspired graphene nanosystems as a multi-functional nano-platform suitable for electronic devices, energy storage, sensors, and medical sciences application. However, a broad understanding of bio-inspired graphene nanosystems and their projection towards applied application is not well-explored yet. Considering this as a motivation, this mini-review highlights the following; the emergence of bio-inspired graphene nanosystems, over time development to make them more efficient, state-of-art technology, and potential applications, mainly biomedical including biosensors, drug delivery, imaging, and biomedical systems. The outcomes of this review will certainly serve as a guideline to motivate scholars to design and develop novel bio-inspired graphene nanosystems to develop greener, affordable, and scalable next-generation biomedical systems.

Abstract
Imparting surface coatings with conductivity is an effective way to prevent fire and explosion caused by electrostatic discharge. TiO2 is a commonly used paint; however, intrinsic TiO2 has poor electrical conductivity. Herein, we develop a method to make TiO2 coating highly conductive by doping Ca2+ into the TiO2 lattice based on the introduction of graphene. It is demonstrated that doping Ca2+ increases the carrier density of TiO2 and its morphology changes from a sphere to a spindle shape, which increases the interfacial contact area between TiO2 and graphene. Therefore, resistivity can be greatly decreased due to the construction of fast charge transport pathways from TiO2 to graphene, resulting from an increase in the speed of interfacial charge transfer. In addition, the electronic properties of the samples are also studied through first-principles calculations before and after Ca2+ doping. The result of the theoretical analysis is in agreement with that of experiments. Thus, the lowest resistivity of Ca2+-TiO2/graphene can reach 0.004 Ω cm. Consequently, the feature of superior conductivity of the Ca2+-TiO2/graphene composite endows it with practical application potential in the field of antistatic coating.

RSC Adv 2021; 11:29877-29886. [PMID: 35480278 PMCID: PMC9040915 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra05617d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Herein, we report Sn3O4 and Sn3O4 nanoflake/graphene for photocatalytic hydrogen generation from H2O and H2S under natural "sunlight" irradiation. The Sn3O4/graphene composites were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method at relatively low temperatures (150 °C). The incorporation of graphene in Sn3O4 exhibits remarkable improvement in solar light absorption, with improved photoinduced charge separation due to formation of the heterostructure. The highest photocatalytic hydrogen production rate for the Sn3O4/graphene nanoheterostructure was observed as 4687 μmol h-1 g-1 from H2O and 7887 μmol h-1 g-1 from H2S under natural sunlight. The observed hydrogen evolution is much higher than that for pure Sn3O4 (5.7 times that from H2O, and 2.2 times from H2S). The improved photocatalytic activity is due to the presence of graphene, which acts as an electron collector and transporter in the heterostructure. More significantly, the Sn3O4 nanoflakes are uniformly and parallel grown on the graphene surface, which accelerates the fast transport of electrons due to the short diffusion distance. Such a unique morphology for the Sn3O4 along with the graphene provides more adsorption sites, which are effective for photocatalytic reactions under solar light. This work suggests an effective strategy towards designing the surfaces of various oxides with graphene nanoheterostructures for high performance of energy-conversion devices.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has been widely utilized as the precursor of graphene (GR) to fabricate GR-based hybrid photocatalysts for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. However, until now, the properties and roles that GO played in heterogeneous photocatalysis have remained relatively elusive. In this Review, we start with a brief discussion of synthesis and structure of GO. Then, the photocatalysis-related properties of GO, including electrical conductivity, surface chemistry, dispersibility, and semiconductor properties, are concisely summarized. In particular, we have highlighted the fundamental multifaceted roles of GO in heterogeneous photocatalysis, which contain the precursor of GR, cross-linked framework for constructing aerogel photocatalyst, macromolecular surfactant, two-dimensional growth template, and photocatalyst by itself. Furthermore, the future prospects and remaining challenges on developing effective GO-derived hybrid photocatalysts are presented, which is expected to inspire further research into this promising research domain.

Abstract
The development of innovative antibacterial samples with high efficacy has received a great deal of interest. Herein, we synthesized magnetite modified by Cr and co-modified by Cr and Ce, along with their reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based nanocomposites via facile hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods. The rGO-based samples showed proper magnetic behavior, high porosity, and vast specific surface area. The high specific surface area provided more adsorptive active sites with higher potentials for the decomposition of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) cells. The antibacterial performance of the samples against S. aureus was evaluated at 50 and 100 μg mL-1 through the colony-forming unit (CFU) method and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were subsequently determined. As per results, not only chromium cations could effectively damage the DNA of bacteria, but also the antibacterial efficacy was further enhanced by co-doping of cerium and the integration with rGO nanosheets. The antibacterial results were confirmed through the changes observed in the morphology and topology of the bacteria before and after the treatment using SEM and AFM analyses. Ultimately, the plausible S. aureus inactivation mechanism of the samples was disclosed.

Abstract
In the quest for designing efficient and stable photocatalytic materials for CO2 reduction, hybridizing a selective noble-metal-free molecular catalyst and carbon-based light-absorbing materials has recently emerged as a fruitful approach. In this work, we report about Co quaterpyridine complexes covalently linked to graphene surfaces functionalized by carboxylic acid groups. The nanostructured materials were characterized by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, IR and Raman spectroscopies, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and proved to be highly active in the visible-light-driven CO2 catalytic conversion in acetonitrile solutions. Exceptional stabilities (over 200 h of irradiation) were obtained without compromising the selective conversion of CO2 to products (>97%). Most importantly, complete selectivity control could be obtained upon adjusting the experimental conditions: production of CO as the only product was achieved when using a weak acid (phenol or trifluoroethanol) as a co-substrate, while formate was exclusively obtained in solutions of mixed acetonitrile and triethanolamine.

Photocatalytic Degradation of Sulfolane Using a LED-Based Photocatalytic Treatment System. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
Sulfolane is an emerging industrial pollutant detected in the environments near many oil and gas plants in North America. So far, numerous advanced oxidation processes have been investigated to treat sulfolane in aqueous media. However, there is only a few papers that discuss the degradation of sulfolane using photocatalysis. In this study, photocatalytic degradation of sulfolane using titanium dioxide (TiO2) and reduced graphene oxide TiO2 composite (RGO-TiO2) in a light-emitting diode (LED) photoreactor was investigated. The impact of different waters (ultrapure water, tap water, and groundwater) and type of irradiation (UVA-LED and mercury lamp) on photocatalytic degradation of sulfolane were also studied. In addition, a reusability test was conducted for the photocatalyst to examine the degradation of sulfolane in three consecutive cycles with new batches of sulfolane-contaminated water. The results show that LED-based photocatalysis was effective in degrading sulfolane in waters even after three photocatalytic cycles. UVA-LEDs displayed more efficient use of photon energy when compared with the mercury lamps as they have a narrow emission spectrum coinciding with the absorption of TiO2. The combination of UVA-LED and TiO2 yielded better performance than UVA-LED and RGO-TiO2 for the degradation of sulfolane. Much lower sulfolane degradation rates were observed in tap water and groundwater than ultrapure water.

Abstract
The rapid progress of state-of-the-art carbon-based metals as a catalyst is playing a central role in the research area of chemical and materials engineering for effective visible-light-induced catalytic applications. Numerous admirable catalysts have been fabricated, but significant challenges persist to lower the cost and increase the action of catalysts. The development of carbon-based nanostructured materials (i.e., activated carbon, carbon nitride, graphite, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, diamond, graphene, etc.) represents an admirable substitute to out-of-date catalysts. Significant efforts have been made by researchers toward the improvement of various carbon-based metal nanostructures as catalysts. Moreover, incredible development has been achieved in several fields of catalysis, such as visible-light-induced catalysis, electrochemical performance, energy storage, and conversion, etc. This review gives an overview of the up-to-date developments in the strategy of design and fabrication of carbon-based metal nanostructures as photo-catalysts by means of several methods within the green approach, including chemical synthesis, in situ growth, solution mixing, and hydrothermal approaches. Moreover, the photocatalytic effects of the resulting carbon-based nanostructure classifications are similarly deliberated relative to their eco-friendly applications, such as photocatalytic degradation of organic dye pollutants.

Abstract
One of the major challenges in chemistry confronted by the chemists is the replacement
of conventional homogeneous catalysts by heterogeneous catalysts for the development
of green, sustainable and economical chemical processes. Recently, carbón-based
nanocomposites have attracted the attention of scientists due to their unique physical and
chemical properties such as large surface area and pore volume, chemical inertness, high
stability and high electrical conductivity. These NCs have been employed in energy storage,
electronic devices, sensors, environmental remediation etc. Owing to the wide availability
and low cost, carbón-based materials have been utilized as supports for transition metals
and other materials. The carbón-based NCs offer a number of advantages such as high stability,
easy recovery, reusability with often minimal leaching of metal ions, and green and
sustainable approaches to heterogeneous catalysis for various organic transformations. Hence, they can be used
as the substitute for the existing catalyst used for heterogeneous catalysis in industries. In this review, various
processing methods for carbón-based nanocomposites and their applications as heterogeneous catalysts for organic
transformations like hydrogenation, oxidation, coupling, and multi.component reactions, have been discussed.

Abstract
Reduced graphene oxide/cadmium sulfide (RGOCdS) nanocomposite synthesized through solvothermal process was used for methylparaben (MeP) degradation. The crystallinity of the nanocomposite was ascertained through X-ray diffraction. High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) results proved the absence of any free particle beyond the catalyst surface ensuring the composite nature of the prepared material. The enhancement in the activity on doping with RGO was substantiated by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS-UV). It is evident from the photocatalytic degradation experiments that RGOCdS is more efficient than pure CdS. Maximum MeP degradation (100%) was achieved after 90 min of irradiation with 750 mg/L RGOCdS dosage at an acidic pH of 3, for an initial MeP concentration of 30 mg/L. The degradation mechanism substantiated through HPLC-MS/MS analysis showed the complete degradation of MeP without any residual intermediaries. The catalyst could be sustained and reused for up to 9 cycles of usage. Phytotoxicity and mycotoxicity results evidently ascertain the environmental implications of the photocatalyst material.

In this work, Ru x Pd y alloy nanoparticles were uniformly decorated on a two-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheet by an in situ chemical co-reduction process. The resulting products were characterized by various physiochemical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Further, the synthesized Ru x Pd y @rGO nanocomposites have been employed as a heterogeneous catalyst for three different catalytic reactions: (1) dehydrogenation of aqueous ammonia borane (AB); (2) hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds using ammonia borane as the hydrogen source, and (3) for the synthesis of aromatic azo derivatives. The present work illustrates the sustainable anchoring of metal nanoparticles over the surface of rGO nanosheets, which could be used for multifarious catalytic reactions.
