Graphene is a two-dimensional nanomaterial with huge surface area, high carrier mobility and high mechanical strength. Because of its great potential in nanotechnology and environmental protection, it has attracted much attention in environmental and energy fields since its discovery in 2004. Although graphene is a star material, many reviews have introduced its use in terms of energy, the research progress in the field of environment, especially water pollution control, has been rarely reported. Here, we review exhaustively the research progress of graphene-based materials in environmental pollution remediation in the past ten years. Firstly, the advantages and classification of graphene were introduced. Secondly, the research progress and main achievements of graphene and its composites in the fields of photocatalytic degradation, pollutant adsorption and water treatment were emphatically described, and the mechanism of action in the above fields was summarized. Finally, we discuss the problems existing in the preparation and summarize the application of graphene in the environment.
