A Facile Synthesis of RGO-Ag₂MoO₄ Nanocomposites for Efficient Lead Removal from Aqueous Solution.

ABSTRACT: Efficiently treating wastewater, particularly the elimination of heavy metal ions from water systems, continues to be one of the most pressing and complex challenges in modern environmental management. In this work, reduced graphene oxide coupled silver molybdate binary nanocomposites (RGO-Ag₂MoO₄ NCs) have been prepared via hydrothermal method. The crystalline nature and surface properties of the developed RGO-Ag₂MoO₄ NCs were proved by XRD, FTIR, SEM, and EDS techniques. Adsorption experiments demonstrated that the nanocomposites (NCs) effectively removed Pb(II) ions within 120 min, achieving a maximum removal efficiency ranging from 94.96% to 86.37% for Pb(II) concentrations between 20 and 100 mg/L at pH 6. Kinetic studies showed that the adso
