Abstract
Graphene Aerogel (GA) is a novel porous and lightweight material derived from graphene with remarkable properties in various applications, especially in water purification. This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, and wastewater treatment applications of graphene aerogels, including the removal of organic pollutants, desalination, oil-water separation, gas purification, and ion extraction. The challenges and future prospects for GA in this field are also discussed which would provide a comprehensive overview of GA as a promising material for water treatment and inspire further research and innovation.
