Abstract

Graphene was originally found as a thin sheet structure. Researchers have expanded their studies to include this 2D carbon structure in recent years. The paper aims to give a review of the development of graphene and its application in photocatalysts based on existing research literature and data. The result shows that, currently, graphene-based nanomaterials for medical applications are a popular research topic. In this paper, the structure, characteristics, synthesis and surface modification of graphene is classified into covalent and non-covalent approaches.
