Challenges and Countermeasures of Functionalized Graphene Materials in Water Purification

Abstract

This article focuses on the application of functionalized graphene materials in the field of water purification. Firstly, the characteristics of functionalized graphene materials were introduced, and their great potential in water purification was expounded. Then, a series of challenges faced by this material in practical application were deeply analyzed, including high preparation costs, poor dispersion, potential secondary pollution, and technical bottlenecks for large-scale application. In response to these challenges, corresponding countermeasures have been proposed, such as optimizing the preparation process, surface modification to enhance dispersibility, strengthening safety assessment and supervision, and promoting industry-university-research cooperation to accelerate technology transformation. It aims to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the further promotion and application of functionalized graphene materials in water purification.
