Self-Assembly Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanosheet Hydrogel Fabrication by Anchorage of Chitosan/Silver and Its Potential Efficient Application toward Dye Degradation for Wastewater Treatments

In this study, the hydrogel materials of reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/chitosan/silver nanoparticle composites were designed and prepared via a self-assembly process and simultaneous reduction of chitosan molecules with GO. These as-prepared hydrogels were characterized by different techniques. The morphology of the internal network structure of the nanocomposite hydrogels was investigated. The catalytic capacity results demonstrate that the...
