Carbonaceous materials, such as activated carbon and graphene-based materials, play a pivotal role in water remediation processes. Their high surface area and excellent adsorption properties make them effective at removing pollutants and contaminants from water sources. The remediation of various pollutants, including inorganic substances, heavy metals, and emerging contaminants, is well-documented.
Carbonaceous materials can be decorated with various nanomaterials for enhanced remediation. Nanomaterials remediate water through adsorption, catalysis, ion exchange, filtration, disinfection, electrochemical processes, magnetic separation, and selective sorption. Certain nanoparticle incorporations can impart magnetic properties to the composite, enabling the convenient recovery of the material The production of novel nanoparticle decorated carbonaceous materials and their applications in water remediation has become a popular research interest. A dedicated special issue and a collection of scientific publications on this topic
would be beneficial to the scientific community.
The objective of this Research Topic is to consolidate and present a focused body of research on "Nanoparticle-decorated carbonaceous materials for water remediation". The aim is to offer a comprehensive overview of the latest developments, trends, and advancements in this field, fostering knowledge sharing and collaboration among researchers. This collection will disseminate valuable insights, data, and methodologies to the broader scientific community, serving as a reference point for future research and policy decisions. It encompasses a multidisciplinary research area that engages scientists from various fields, including materials, environmental, and analytical chemists, chemical engineers, forestry experts, and more. Creating a special issue dedicated to this topic will be instrumental in establishing a centralized hub for the wealth of new knowledge generated by this diverse scientific community. We welcome Original Research, Review, Mini Review and Perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to:
• Nanoscale zero-valent iron composites supported by biochar/activated carbon for water
remediation.
• Nano-photocatalysts supported by biochar/activated carbon for water remediation.
• Carbonaceous structure-supported innovative nanomaterials in water remediation.
• Mechanisms of remediation associated with nanoparticle-decorated carbonaceous
materials.
• Stability assessment of nanoparticle-decorated carbonaceous materials.
• New synthesis approaches of nanoparticle-decorated carbonaceous materials.
• Adverse environmental impacts of nanoparticle-decorated carbonaceous materials.
• Large-scale applications of carbon-supported nano-composites in water remediation.
