The Electronic Properties and Adsorption Performance of LDH/Graphene, and LDH/g-C₃N₄ for the Removal of Pharmaceutical Contaminants: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

ABSTRACT: Water shortages and pharmaceutical pollution are two interconnected crises that pose severe threats to global health, environmental sustainability, and economic stability. Pharmaceutical pollution is widespread and has reached potentially toxic levels in over 258 rivers in 104 countries. So far, more interest has been paid towards efficient water treatment processes in recent years. In this study, we explore the efficacy of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposites with graphene and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) as promising adsorbents of pharmaceutical contaminants. The LDH nanocomposite has been designed and simulated for the first time, consisting of two layers of sodium hydroxide with a layer of graphene and g-C₃N₄. We investigated th
