Application of non-covalent graphene oxide-chitosan nanocomposite in water purification

Nanocomposite of chitosan and graphene oxide is prepared by simple self-assembly of both components in aqueous media. It is observed that between graphene oxide sheets and chitosan some interactions occur. The adsorbents were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectra, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Ion scavenging applications of graphene oxide-chitosan nanocomposite weredemonstrated by taking Pb(II) as the model pollutant. Compared to pure chitosan and graphene oxide, lead adsorption was significantly improved
