Development of graphene-based magnetic nanocomposites for radioactive waste management

To develop a novel magnetic graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite, the researchers hope to successfully incorporate suitable functionalized iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles into graphene oxide (GO). The magnetic GO nanocomposite that will be developed in this this project shows promise as a nanoadsorbent to remove a variety of radionuclides from contaminated water under ambient conditions, which is a useful tool for handling radioactive waste.
