Sugar Cane-Converted Graphene-like Material for the Superhigh Adsorption of Organic Pollutants from Water via Coassembly Mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: A sugar cane-converted graphene-like material (FZS900) was fabricated by carbonization and activation. The material exhibited abundant micropores, water-stable turbostratic single-layer graphene nanosheets, and a high BET-N₂ surface area (2280 m² g^-1). The adsorption capacities of FZS900 toward naphthalene, phenanthrene, and 1-naphthol were 615.8, 431.2, and 2040 mg g^-1, respectively, which are much higher than those of previously reported materials. The nonpolar aromatic molecules induced the turbostratic graphene nanosheets to agglomerate in an orderly manner, forming 2-11 graphene layer nanoloops, while polar aromatic compounds induced high dispersion or aggregation of the graphene nanosheets. This phase conversion of the nanosized materials a
