Abstract
Environmental pollution by both water-soluble toxic pollutants as well as noxious greenhouse gases is causing a great concern worldwide. Additionally, recent studies have shown that the unpredicted effect of certain pollutants on the environment is another issue affecting environmental stability. Therefore, it is in urgent need of new and efficient materials for environmental pollution management. Graphene/CNT-based materials have shown promising potential for environmental applications from environmental sensing and monitoring to remediation. Graphene/CNT nanocomposites can be used as general platforms for the removal of hazardous species, for sensing inorganic ions and organisms, and for seawater desalination. In this chapter, we review the recent progress of graphene/CNT-based materials in environmental applications with a focus on topics such as detection and removal of heavy metal ions, removal of organic species, and desalination of saltwater.
