Carbocatalysis the intersection of carbon materials and catalysis—is the use of large‐area, metal‐free carbon to facilitate chemical reactions. In their Communication on page 6813 ff., C. Bielawski and co‐workers demonstrate that graphene‐based materials may be used as carbocatalysts to facilitate a number of synthetically useful transformations, including the oxidation of alcohols and alkenes into their respective aldehydes and ketones, as well as the hydration of alkynes.
