Abstract
Graphene nanosheets (GNSs) that were obtained by vacuum-promoted low-temperature exfoliation were used to adsorb lead ions from an aqueous system. The pristine and thermally modified GNSs were characterized with scanning electron microscopy observation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. It was interestingly found that the adsorption against lead ions was enhanced by heat treatment, although the oxygen complexes of GNSs showed a significant decrease. In addition, lead ion uptake resulted in an increase in the pH value of the solution. It is supposed that the Lewis basicity of GNSs is improved by heat treatment under a high vacuum, in favor of simultaneous adsorption of lead ions and protons onto GNSs.Keywords
