Synergistic absorbents based on SnFe₂O₄@ZnO nanoparticles decorated with reduced graphene oxide for highly efficient dye adsorption at room temperature.

ABSTRACT: Recently, adsorption techniques have emerged as practical and effective methods for removing organic dyes, dramatically extending practical capabilities for treating deleterious pollutants in wastewater. However, an urgent issue restricting the performance of these techniques is that no available absorbents that can be used to treat both cationic and anionic organic dyes have been made with simple and reliable methods until now. Herein, we report a green synthetic strategy for the preparation of SnFe₂O₄/ZnO nanoparticles decorated on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), exhibiting a remarkably large surface area (120.33 m² g^-1). Substantial adsorption efficiency for removing MB dye was achieved, with 91.3% removal within 20 min at room temperature, and
