Graphene, Soil remediation, EnvironmentAbstract
The Earth’s environment has been severely damaged, necessitating urgent protection measures. In this context, graphene, a highly popular material, shows promising potential for application in environmental protection. Drawing from previous studies, this article will provide a concise overview of graphene’s remarkable characteristics, such as its high conductivity, large surface area, and exceptional strength. It will then explore how graphene and its derivatives can be utilized in the environmental field, focusing on its structure and surface area, which are key to its effectiveness.The difference between activated carbon (AC) and graphene is also discussed to highlight graphene’s unique advantages. New technology is able to apply graphene family in cleaning up water and soil by obsorbing ions through its chemical properties. the report also addresses the current limitations and challenges associated with the widespread utilization of graphene, highlighting areas for further research and development. Building upon these insights, this article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of graphene’s potential in environmental remediation.
