Graphene oxide (GO) and its composite membranes have exhibited great potential for application in water purification and desalination. This article reports that a novel graphene oxide membrane (GOM) of ~5 µm thickness was fabricated onto a nylon membrane by vacuum filtration and cross-linked by amino acids (L-alanine, L-phenylalanine, and serine). The GOM cross-linked by amino acids (GOM-A) exhibits excellent stability, high water flux, and high rejection to metal ions. The rejection coefficients to alkali and alkaline earth metal ions through GOM-A were over 94% and 96%, respectively. The rejection coefficients decreased with an increasing H+ concentration. Metal ions (K+, Ca2+, and Fe3+) can be inserted into GOM-A layers, which enlarges the interlayer spacing of GOM-A and neutralizes the electronegativity of the membrane, resulting in the decease in the rejection coefficients to metal ions. Meanwhile, GOM-A showed quite high antibacterial efficiency against E. coli. With the excellent performance as described above, GOM-A could be used to purify and desalt water.

Persulfate (PS)-activated, iron-based heterogeneous catalysts have attracted significant attention as a potential advanced and sustainable water purification system. Herein, a novel Fe3O4 impregnated graphene oxide (Fe3O4@GO)-activated persulfate system (Fe3O4@GO+K2S2O8) was synthesized by following a sustainable protocol and was tested on real wastewater containing dye pollutants. In the presence of the PS-activated system, the degradation efficiency of Rhodamine B (RhB) was significantly increased to a level of ≈95% compared with that of Fe3O4 (≈25%). The influences of different operational parameters, including solution pH, persulfate dosage, and RhB concentration, were systemically evaluated. This system maintained its catalytic activity and durability with a negligible amount of iron leached during successive recirculation experiments. The degradation intermediates were further identified through reactive oxygen species (ROS) studies, where surface-bound SO4− was found to be dominant radical for RhB degradation. Moreover, the degradation mechanism of RhB in the Fe3O4@GO+K2S2O8 system was discussed. Finally, the results indicate that the persulfate-activated Fe3O4@GO catalyst provided an effective pathway for the degradation of dye pollutants in real wastewater treatment.

In the last decade, the use of heterogeneous catalysts based on Metal Nanoparticles (MNPs) has attracted increasing attention due to their prominence as nanocatalysts in several key chemical transformations. Notably, it is well identified that supporting Metal Nanoparticles (MNPs) with suitable solid surfaces can protect the MNPs from leaching, deactivation, and also increasing its ease of separation and possible reusability. Graphene oxide (GO) as a conductive surface could have non-covalent bonding interactions like hydrogen bonding, electrostatic and π –π* stacking interactions with substrate leading to activation of the substrate. Remarkably, it is recognized that bimetallic nanoparticles supported on graphene oxide often show novel properties that are not present on either of the parent metal or surfaces. In this review, we tried to reveal the potential advantages of bimetallic and trimetallic nanoparticles supported on graphene oxide in organic transformations, including the reduction of nitroarenes, Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira coupling reactions.
