Application of graphene in photocatalytic water splitting producing hydrogen Zhou Liheng Abstract：Graphene has drawn extensive attention in the field of photocatalysis due to its excellent electronic structure and electronic transmission performance. The latest development of graphene-based nanocomposite,such as graphene and graphene oxide,TiO2/graphene and metallate/graphene , in the application of water splitting for hydrogen was summarized. Photosensitization , loading noble metal and doping nonmetal , and how they influence the photocatalysis activity of graphene-based nanocomposites were discussed. Finally,the structure of graphene-based nanocomposite and its underlying mechanism of photocatalytic enhancement were two important factors needing further study. The photocatalysts with higher photocatalytic activity for water splitting producing H2 could be expected. Key words：graphene；photocatalysis photocatalytic water splitting producing hydrogen provide a possible way to cope with energy shortage and environmental pollution .So how to find a proper photocatalyst is researched broadly owe to this reason.But the photocatalyst reasearched nowadays have some general shortcomings such as low visble light absorption, low surface activity of photocatalyst .These shortcomings decrease the photocatalytic efficiency and the activity of the hydrogen produced,limiting the implement of photocatalytic water splitting producing.But in recent years ,a new develped material called graphene gain a broad concern.Graphene is carbonaceous material of 2-D lattice structure which is stacked closely by monolayer carbon atoms. Graphene has excellent electrical,thermal,optical,mechanical properties such as good conductivity and electron mobility. Graphene has better electronic structure,electrical properties and chemical stability than carbon nanotubes(CNT),fullerrene(C60),so it will become a kind of multifunctional material that can transmit e
