Several crucial problems, such as rapid population growth and extended demands for food, water and fuels, could lead to a severe lack of clean water and an energy crisis in the coming decade. Therefore, low-cost and highly-efficient technologies related to filtration of alternative water supplies (e.g., purification of wastewater and water-rich liquids) and advanced energy storage (e.g., supercapacitors) could play a crucial role to overcome such challenges. A promising class of solid materials for these purposes is exfoliated graphene, and more specifically, its nanoporous forms that exhibit large specific surface areas and pore volumes. In the current work, two plasma-exfoliated graphene-based materials with distinctive morphological and porosity features, including non-porous and low-specific surface area platelets versus nanoporous and high-specific surface area flakes, were tested as filters for water purification purposes (i.e., decolourization and deacidification) and as electrodes for supercapacitors (i.e., ion electrosorption). The findings of this study suggest that a nanoporous and large specific surface area graphene-based material promotes the water purification behaviour by removing contaminants from water-based solutions as well as the energy storage performance by confining ions of aqueous electrolytes.

Graphene is a two-dimensional hexagonal monoatomic layer crystal composed of carbon atoms, which exhibits the shape of a honeycomb and plays an important role in the fields of optics and mechanics. It also has the advantages of high specific surface area, strong chemical stability and special planar structure. It is an ideal carrier for carrying various inorganic compounds and is suitable for the development of high performance graphene-based inorganic nanocomposites.[1] Based on this, the paper introduces the characteristics of graphene, expounds the related content of graphene-based inorganic nanocomposites, and studies the preparation methods and properties of graphene-based inorganic nanocomposites.
