Abstract
Due to promising merits such as nontoxicity, large surface area, high activity/selectivity, and good stability, graphene oxide (GO) and N-doped graphene (N-G) have attracted much attention as catalysts in various catalytic applications. Among other carbon materials such as carbon nanotube, fullerene like materials, 2D graphene oxide (GO) exhibited outstanding results in various organic reactions. Graphene oxide (GO), as a metal-free and readily available carbocatalyst, has been extensively studied in catalytic organic transformations. In this review, we will overview of the progress on the application of native GO and also N-doped carbon nanofibers as a catalyst for various organic transformations reported in the recent years.
