Abstract
Graphene has many advantages that make it an attractive two-dimensional (2D) support for heterogeneous catalysts. It not only allows the high loading of targeted catalytic species, but also facilitates the mass transfer during the reaction processes. These advantages, along with its unique physical and chemical properties, endow graphene great potential as catalyst support in heterogeneous catalysis.

Graphene has many advantages that make it an attractive two-dimensional (2D) support for heterogeneous catalysts
The advantages of carbon supports can be attributed to their large surface area, inert property that endows their resistance to both acidic and basic media, as well as the convenience to recover the active phase by direct burning away the carbon supports
The unique 2D structures of graphene, which can facilitate the mass transfer during the reaction processes should firstly account for the excellent results (Figure 1)
Summary
Graphene has many advantages that make it an attractive two-dimensional (2D) support for heterogeneous catalysts. A large variety of carbon materials (activated carbons and carbon blacks, in particular) have been exploited as catalyst supports in heterogeneous catalysis.
