“…Many scientists studied the nanocomposites of graphene with TiO 2 and ZnO for numerous applications. It was found that the morphology and structure of graphene-TiO 2 nanocomposites are dependent on the time and temperature at which it is synthesized (Farooq et al, 2020). At the same time, welldefined porous composite structures of composites of graphene-TiO 2 with porous hypercrosslinked polymer can be obtained by employing suitable synthetic strategies (Wang, Xu, et al, 2019).…”

Technologies for wastewater remediation have been growing ever since the environmental and health concern is realized. Development of nanomaterials has enabled mankind to have different methods to treat the various kinds of inorganic and organic pollutants present in wastewater from many resources.Among the many materials, semiconductor materials have found many environmental applications due to their outstanding photocatalytic activities. TiO 2 and ZnO are more effectively used as photocatalyst or adsorbents in the withdrawal of inorganic as well as organic wastes from the wastewater. On the other hand, graphene is tremendously being investigated for applications in environmental remediation in view of the superior physical, optical, thermal, and electronic properties of graphene nanocomposites. In this work, graphene-TiO 2 and graphene-ZnO nanocomposites have been reviewed for photocatalytic wastewater treatment. The various preparation techniques of these nanocomposites have been discussed. Also, different design strategies for graphene-based photocatalyst have been revealed. These nanocomposites exhibit promising applications in most of the water purification processes which are reviewed in this work. Along with this, the development of these nanocomposites using biomass-derived graphene has also been introduced. Practitioner Points• Graphene-TiO 2 and graphene-ZnO nanocomposites are effective for wastewater treatment through photocatalysis.• These nanocomposite photocatalysts have been used in the form of membrane as well as antibacterial agents.• Synthetic strategies and design considerations of graphene-based photocatalyst play a major role.• Biomass-derived graphene-TiO 2 and graphene-ZnO nanocomposites have also found application in wastewater treatment.

“…Many more significant research works are in progress to find feasibility for GO through combined with TiO 2 in the field of energy storage materials. Farooq et al [19] have reported a scalable process for in situ synthesis of TiO 2 NPs on reduced GO nanosheets by a microwave hydrothermal process to prepared homogenously dispersed and high performance based TiO 2 -rGO nanocomposite as anode materials for LIBs. For electrochemical measurement, slurry of the prepared materials was formed and coated onto copper foil, and lithium foil and polypropylene (PP) membrane were used as the counter electrode and a separator respectively.…”

With the increased attention on sustainable energy, a novel interest has been generated towards construction of energy storage materials and energy conversion devices at minimum environmental impact. Apart from the various potential applications of titanium dioxide (TiO2), a variety of TiO2 nanostructure (nanoparticles, nanorods, nanoneedles, nanowires, and nanotubes) are being studied as a promising materials in durable active battery materials. The specific features such as high safety, low cost, thermal and chemical stability, and moderate capacity of TiO2 nanomaterial made itself as a most interesting candidate for fulfilling the current demand and understanding the related challenges towards the preparation of effective energy storage system. Many more synthetic approaches have been adapted to design different nanostructures for improving the electronic conductivity of TiO2 by combining with other materials such as carbonaceous materials, conducting polymers, metal oxides etc. The combination can be done through incorporating and doping methods to synthesize TiO2-based anodic materials having more open channels and active sites for lithium and/or sodium ion transportation. The present chapter contained a broad literature and discussion on the synthetic approaches for TiO2-based anodic materials for enhancing the lithium ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium ion batteries (SIBs) performance. Based on lithium storage mechanism and role of anodic material, we could conclude on future exploitation development of titania and titania based materials as energy storage materials.
