Abstract

The research on graphene has attracted a lot of interest in the scientific world, especially in material science. The scaled-up and reliable production of graphene composites explores their utility with wider applications. In this chapter, we focus on the description of various methods to synthesize graphene-based composites, especially those with organic polymers, inorganic nanostructures, carbon nanotubes, etc. The possibility of conjugation of graphene with different materials to form composite has received particular attention concerning the design of stable materials particularly adsorbents for the advancement of the water treatment process. This chapter describes the preparation of graphene and its composites, efforts, and trends in environmental water remediation highlighting the strategies for the optimization of composite properties.
