[Adsorption Performance and Mechanism of HZO@SGH for the Removal of Fluoride from Aqueous Solution].

Three-dimensional porous composites based on hydrous zirconium oxide and self-assembled graphene hydrogels (HZO@SGH) were successfully synthesized via homogeneous precipitation. HZO@SGH was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to investigate the morphology and the defluoridation mechanism. The adsorption performance and mechanism of HZO@SGH for fluoride was investigated via batch adsorption experiments.
