Abstract

Water splitting through photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical methods is a promising strategy for solar energy utilization. Graphene is widely used in solar-driven overall water splitting because of its versatile properties. This review summarizes the preparation of graphene-based photocatalysts and photoelectrodes and the functions of graphene, and highlights the challenges and prospects of the future applications of graphene in solar-driven water splitting.

Keywords: graphene; nanomaterials; photocatalysis; solar energy; water splitting.
