Electrocatalysis is a special field of electrochemistry and has been received tremendous evolution in the nineties due to its applications in chemistry, industrial, and chemical engineering. Using emerging and advanced materials for electrocatalysis in different applications is a promising field in research and development. Amongst, graphene and its derived nanomaterials are excellent materials to be used as electrocatalysts. Graphene-based nanomaterials are a novel class of nanomaterials that include graphene and its derived materials (prepared via functionalization with inorganic and organic nanomaterials). Extensive studies on their synthesis and applications have been conducted so far in various fields of chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, and applied sciences. Especially, graphene-based nanomaterials have many potential catalytic applications in electrochemical sensing, oxygen and hydrogen evolution, fuel cells, organic transformations, etc. Since the last two decades, incessant efforts of researchers worldwide have resulted in designing and synthesizing more novel graphene-based nanomaterials and have developed more knowledge about their promising catalytic applications in different fields.
Graphene-Based Nanomaterial Catalysis compiles knowledge about catalytic graphene-based nanomaterials in a single easy-to-read volume. The text serves to familiarize scholars and professionals with the methods of fabrication of both functionalized and non-functionalized graphene nanomaterials suitable for use in a variety of applications such as electrochemical sensors, oxygen and hydrogen production, fuel cells and organic transformations.
Interested students in material science at undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels in the disciplines of chemical engineering and materials science will highly benefit from the information in this reference. The reference also gives researchers in both industry and academia an opportunity to update their knowledge of graphene-based nanomaterials useful for catalysis.
