Use of graphite oxide and/or thermally reduced graphite oxide for the removal of dyes from water

Mechanical Properties and Mechanism of Graphite Oxide Reinforced Oil Well Cement

“…When damage occurs within graphite oxide layer, chemical bonds of GO layers must have been broken. Since the GO was not oxidized completely, the interaction force between the layers was mainly based on hydrogen bond formed by oxygen containing functional group and van der Waals forces [17][18][19][20][21]. When interlaminar peeling happens, this special force must be overcome, which will lead large amounts of energy consumption as well.…”

Photoelectrocatalytic application of palladium decorated zinc oxide-expanded graphite electrode for the removal of 4-nitrophenol: experimental and computational studies

“…This can be attributed to the presence of EG which is photosensitizing in nature. 54 It can also be observed that Pd-ZnO-EG displayed a better photo-response in the visible light region with a higher intensity relative to the asprepared ZnO-EG. Firstly, this better photoresponse is an indication of the addition of Pd to the ZnO-EG material.…”

Nanocomposite of graphene oxide decorated Al-waste sludge for removal of rhodamine B from water

“…Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with large surface area have also emerged as potential adsorbents for RhB removal. 14,[25][26][27][28][29] The presence of predominant oxygenated groups in GO and p-p conjugated structure in rGO provide electrostatic and p-p interactions, respectively, that promote the RhB adsorption. Furthermore, the surface charge density of these GO based materials can easily be adjusted, providing greater control over the dye adsorption process.…”
