States of graphene oxide and surface functional groups amid adsorption of dyes and heavy metal ions

doi:10.1016/j.cjche.2023.05.005

Abstract

Abstract: Water pollution regarding dyes and heavy metal ions is crucial facing the world. How to effectively separate these contaminants from water has been a key issue. Graphene oxide (GO) promises the green-water world as a long-lasting spotlight adsorbent material and therefore, harnessing GO has been the research hotspot for over a decade. The state of GO as well as its surface functional groups plays an important role in adsorption. And the way of preparation and structural modification matters to the performance of GO. In this review, the significance of the state of existence of stock GO and surface functional groups is explored in terms of preparation, structural modification, and adsorption. Besides, various adsorbates for GO adsorption are also involved, the discussion of which is rarely established elsewhere.
