A critical and benchmark comparison on graphene-, carbon nanotube-, and fullerene-semiconductor nanocomposites as visible light photocatalysts for selective oxidation

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between graphene (GR) and carbon nanotube (CNT) composite photocatalysts for selective oxidation of alcohols has been carried out based on a reasonable benchmark framework, revealing that GR cannot manifest its unique advantage over its carbon allotropes in enhancing the photoactivity of semiconductor CdS.
