Bifunctional Material with Organic Pollutant Removing and Antimicrobial Properties: Graphene Aerogel Decorated with Highly Dispersed Ag and CeO2 Nanoparticles

“…In previous works, graphene derivatives such as GO and rGO were used as adsorbents for removing the contaminations from water, particularly in organic pollutants . They have much higher adsorption capacities than those of graphite, activated carbon, layered double hydroxide, boron nitride, metal–organic frameworks, and polymer adsorbents due to their strong π–π stacking, anion–cation interactions, and oxygen-functional groups. − In this work, the 3D hierarchical porous structure and high pore volume also promote the Ag/CeO 2 /GA material highly efficient for organic pollutant adsorption. Under visible-light irradiation, the MB purification efficiency of Ag/CeO 2 /GA is shown in the Figure a, which is obtained according to the real-time absorption spectra of MB over the material (Figure b).…”

“…The high efficiency of the Ag/CeO 2 /GA photocatalyst toward organic pollutant purification is attributed to its excellent adsorption and photocatalytic activity. Specifically, the residual oxygen-functional groups, strong π–π stacking, anion–cation interactions, together with the hierarchical porous structure, and high pore volume make the Ag/CeO 2 /GA material highly efficient for organic pollutant adsorption. , At the same time, the organic pollutants can be degraded under visible-light irradiation. Therefore, the organic pollutants can be removed from water completely and efficiently.…”
