Abstract

A nitrogen-doped 3D graphene foam assembled with nanoscroll structure is constructed via a facile mild-heating methodology using a polar molecule of formamide as the driving regent. The as-prepared graphene nanoscroll foam exhibits promising performance in organic pollutant removal with improved adsorption rate and high binding affinity, and is thought to be a novel adsorption material.

Keywords: adsorption; foam; graphene; nanoscroll; organic pollutants.
