摘要

Herein, we reported one-pot synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) supported nanoscale zero-valent nickel (NZVN), used as–synthesized GO@NZVN for capture of uranyl ions. Structural characterization established aggregation of NZVN was diminished by immobilization onto GO, contributing to improved reactivity of GO@NZVN which enable superior removal performance towards U(VI) in comparison with NZVN. The D–R model provided the best description of isotherm data of U(VI) adsorption onto GO@NZVN. The pseudo–second order model contributed to a better description of adsorption kinetics for U(VI) capture. Thermodynamic analysis revealed endothermic and spontaneous adsorption of U(VI) onto the GO@NZVN adsorbents. XPS analyses allude that U(VI) adsorption onto composite surfaces followed by reduction into U(IV) were the central mechanism. Results of this contribution unveiled that GO@NZVN exhibited potential applicability in remediating heavy metal pollutants.
