Abstract
for polystyrene microplastics), receives special attention. Along with a comparison with other adsorbents, the review discusses GO's structural properties, synthesis procedures (including the Hummers' process), and adsorption mechanisms. This study contributes to the development of cutting-edge, environmentally friendly water treatment technologies by combining new research and emphasising the potential of GO-based materials for effective M/NP remediation in aquatic settings.
