Cadmium oxide nanoparticles/graphene composite: synthesis, theoretical insights into reactivity and adsorption study

Graphene-based metal oxide nanocomposites are interesting and promising kinds of nanocomposites due to their large specific area, fast kinetics, and specific affinity towards heavy metal contaminants. In this work, a facile and cost-effective route was used to synthesize CdO nanoparticles (CdO NPs) and graphene-based CdO nanocomposite (G-CdO). The prepared nanomaterials were characterized and explored for lead removal from water. Both CdO NPs...
