Abstract

Nowadays, composite materials between mixed-metal oxides and graphene are widely studied due to their multiple applications on different fields. MnFe2O4 is a magnetic material which has the ability to absorb toxic heavy metal in water. Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) with about 10 layers, is one of type of graphene. GNPs was used as matrix for the fine distribution of metal oxide nanoparticles. Surface area for the absorption process can be increased. Composite was synthesized using solvothermal method, in which mixed-metal oxide nanoparticles were directly formed in-situ from precursor salts onto GNPs surface. Synthesized material was analyzed using XRD, SEM and EDX methods to determine its properties. Heavy metal absorption capacity was also studied and showed good results.
