Rapidly growing industrialization leads to an increase in global temperature as a result of the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), in the environment. CO2 is an abundant, nontoxic, and renewable C1 feedstock source of carbon for synthesizing fine chemicals. CO2 can be transformed into many gaseous or liquid fuels and fine chemicals, such as carbon monoxide, methane, formic acid, formaldehyde, methanol, cyclic carbonates, and other hydrocarbon fuels. The inherent thermodynamics stability and kinetic inertness of CO2 pose a limit for the synthesis of fine chemicals. Various materials have been explored by many researchers around the globe to generate efficient chemicals and products from CO2. Graphene and its composite materials have a large surface area, and their surface is rich in various reactive oxygen functional groups (-C-OH, -C=O, -COOH, etc.), which can be highly active sites for various organic catalytic reactions, including oxidation, reduction, ringopening, and coupling reactions. In this chapter, the structure, strategies, and mechanism of utilizing CO2 into value-added chemicals using graphene and its composite materials will be presented.
