Capture of water contaminants by a new generation of sorbents based on graphene and related materials

Growing concern about water contamination along with the necessity of ensuring water quality and sustainable management of limited water resources have led to the search of more efficient and selective materials for use in sorption-based technologies. They are widely applied for the capture of a var...
