This comprehensive review highlights advancements in carbon-based nanomaterials for wastewater treatment, suggesting effective methods to combat water pollution.
The thorough analysis in this review examines current advancements in carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) intended for wastewater treatment, with an emphasis on how they are used to alleviate the world's problems with water scarcity and pollution. We highlight the fullerenes, carbon dots (CDs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and their composites, for OD, ID, 2D, and 3D materials. The unique properties of CBNs are useful for eliminating pollutants, toxins, and pathogens from wastewater. This review emphasizes the most significant wastewater treatment techniques such as adsorption, membrane separation, and photocatalytic degradation of the pollutants based on CBNs. Apart from this, we also highlight the performance statistics and environmental impacts as well as future perspective. Sustainable practices pay attention to concerns about CBNs targeted for wastewater treatment as well as systematic thinking and precautionary principle are indispensable considerations.
