Abstract The sustainable and scalable production of hydrogen through hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen through oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water splitting demands efficient and robust electrocatalysts. Currently, state‐of‐the‐art electrocatalysts of Pt and IrO 2 /RuO 2 exhibit the benchmark catalytic activity toward HER and OER, respectively. However, expanding their practical application is hindered by their exorbitant price and scarcity. Therefore, the development of alternat

A facile chemical route to synthesize the polypyrrole-reduced graphene oxide composite showing a highly selective Hg(2+) removal capacity is reported. The gram scale production, high adsorption capacity and recycling make this material practically useful for waste water treatment.

This review deals with wide-ranging environmental studies of graphene-based materials on the adsorption of hazardous materials and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants for water remediation and the physisorption, chemisorption, reactive adsorption, and separation for gas storage. The environmental and biological toxicity of graphene, which is an important issue if graphene composites are to be applied in environmental remediation, is also addressed.

Nanoscale iron particles decorated graphene sheets synthesized via sodium borohydride reduction of graphene oxide, showed enhanced magnetic property, surface area and Cr(vi) adsorption capacity compared to bare iron nanoparticles.

N-doped porous carbon produced via chemical activation of polypyrrole functionalized graphene sheets shows selective adsorption of CO(2) (4.3 mmol g(-1)) over N(2) (0.27 mmol g(-1)) at 298 K. The potential for large scale production and facile regeneration makes this material useful for industrial applications.

Abstract The most efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a Pt‐based catalyst, but its high cost and nonperfect efficiency hinder wide‐ranging industrial/technological applications. Here, an electrocatalyst of both ruthenium (Ru) single atoms (SAs) and N‐doped‐graphitic(G N )‐shell‐covered nitrided‐Ru nanoparticles (NPs) (having a Ru‐N x shell) embedded on melamine‐derived G N matrix { 1 : [Ru(SA)+Ru(NP)@RuN x @G N ]/G N }, which exhibits superior HER activity in b

High-performance 3d–5d transition metal single atom electrocatalysts ligated by various –N_xC_y moieties of N-doped graphene are investigated for hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution/reduction reactions using high-throughput computational screening and machine learning.

Graphene sheets decorated with SnO(2) nanoparticles (RGO-SnO(2)) were prepared via a redox reaction between graphene oxide (GO) and SnCl(2). Graphene oxide (GO) was reduced to graphene (RGO) and Sn(2+) was oxidized to SnO(2) during the redox reaction, leading to a homogeneous distribution of SnO(2) nanoparticles on RGO sheets. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show uniform distribution of the nanoparticles on the RGO surface and high-resolut
