Abstract:
... Developing and continuously optimizing measures to minimize and eliminate caffeine in the water environment is significant because of its wide distribution, persistence, and possible toxicity. Graphene oxide (GO) and graphene (GN) are two attractive carbon materials with excellent adsorption performance, and pH value plays an important role in these adsorption processes. In this work, a timely the ...
