Removal of Multiple Water Pollutants: All‐in‐One Bioinspired Multifunctional Graphene Biopolymer Foam for Simultaneous Removal of Multiple Water Pollutants (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 18/2020)
Source abstract
Abstract
The cover picture, featuring article number 2000664 by Dusan Losic, Pei Lay Yap, and co-workers, unlocks the bio-inspired material design concept based on the unique wettability micro-topology of a darkling beetle to develop a novel all-in-one water pollutant adsorbent using multifunctional graphene biopolymer (Alg-Fe3O4-rGO-4S) foam, constructed with a combined hydrophilic–hydrophobic wettability synthesised by a photoinitiated thiol–ene functionalization approach. Excellent performance for simultaneous uptake of multiple pollutants from waters including heavy metal ions, cationic dyes, oils and organic solvents are demonstrated.
