Abstract

Nanographene due to its extraordinary characteristics is a promising material for synthesis of metal-free sustainable catalysts or catalytic supports. Interest in nanographene as catalyst is due to its stability from the alteration/functionalization of its morphology, synthetic approaches, catalytic performance mechanisms, etc. Functionalization of nanographene to tune its catalytic performance is of crucial importance for its application. In this regard, functionalization of nanographene with organics, proteins, molecular linkers, etc., as soft matter and solid inorganic metals at nanoscale, semiconductors, etc., as hard matter are the most important methods to fabricate high-performance nanographene-based catalytic materials. In this chapter we present a critical review on graphene chemistry, functionalization of graphene, and catalytic applications with special focus on the industrial, environmental, and health issues of graphene.
