Graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and their composites have been prominently utilized for wastewater purification because of their adsorption, oxidation, and catalytic properties. Graphene and GO and its composites naturally have significant pore volume, high conductivity, rich surface chemistry, and an exceptionally large aspect ratio which make it favorable for adsorption and catalysis of organic pollutants from wastewater. The sheet-like, resonating, polyaromatic π-system of graphene subsidiaries play a significant role in π–π interactions, hydrogen bonding, and/or electrostatic interactions with organic pollutants that include dyes, pharmaceutical waste, and agricultural and industrial effluents whose base structure consists of notably reactive unsaturated aromatic rings and oxygen-rich functional groups. The adsorption capacities of pollutants have been widely researched and catalogued by considering the adsorption isotherm (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, DR model) they fit, the kinetic models (pseudo-fi...
