Abstract
The building blocks of the well-defined and easily modified carbon-bond structure of graphene sheet units bring unique characteristics to carbon materials. Especially when these carbon materials are nanosized, their tunable electronic states, giant conjugated structures, oxygen groups on the defects of graphene sheets, and various dopants all help make the materials active in liquid-phase catalytic reactions. In this mini-review, we mainly focus on the liquid-phase reactions catalyzed by carbon nanomaterials, and the related mechanisms are discussed on the basis of their structure fundamentals. In the final section, we also provide our perspectives on this rapidly developing carbocatalysis field.
