Abstract

High crystalline Fe3O4-graphene composite has been successfully synthesized via one-step thermolysis reaction. The results demonstrated that the attachment of iron-organic complex with graphene oxide sheets can facilely lead to magnetic graphene composites with a time-dependent calcination process. The composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The high efficient removal of methylene blue determined that Fe3O4-graphene is a promising sorbent material for wastewater treatment.
