Transforming waste into carbon-based nanomaterials
TL;DR: In this article, a review of green synthesis routes to prepare carbon-based nanomaterials focusing on graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is presented, and a summary of current status and future prospects are discussed.

Graphene and graphene oxide for desalination
TL;DR: There is a huge scope for graphene-based materials to be used as membranes for desalination but the cost effective fabrication procedure for graphene oxide membranes with precise control of pore size cannot offer a practical solution for filtration.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and theoretical study on the adsorption and desorption behavior of water in GO laminates as a function of relative pressure is presented. But the role of the expandable interlayer spacing and functional groups is not fully understood.
Separation and purification using GO and r-GO membranes
TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of graphene-based membranes for multiple separation applications is discussed and a comparison of GO and r-GO membranes is made based on the porosity of the membranes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of confining walls' material on water friction was investigated in angstrom-scale capillaries made from atomically flat crystals and showed that strong hydrophobicity does not rule out enhanced stickiness and friction.
