Abstract

Since its discovery by Fujishima and Honda, titanium dioxide photocatalyst have been extensively used for environmental management and wastewater purification. TiO2 photocatalyst showed higher photocatalytic performances toward different organic pollutants, pharmaceutical compounds, and bacteria. However, it exhibited large band gap and can only be excited under UV-light irradiation, which presents only 5% of solar terrestrial radiation. In addition, to the fast electron–hole (e−/h+) pair recombination that limits its photocatalytic activity. Therefore, the incorporation of graphene and its derivatives, known by their exceptional mix of chemical, physical, mechanical and electronic properties, is found advantageous to enhance electron mobility, suppress the recombination of e−/h+ pairs and shift its visible light photocatalytic ability. This chapter aims to introduce TiO2/graphene hybrid nanocomposites from the fundamental component, synthesis methods, physico-chemical and electronic properties to their application as powerful materials in the wastewater treatment field.
