▎ 摘  要

Water pollution has become a worldwide problem due to ever-increasing industrial wastewater. An ideal adsorbing material is able to remove oils, organic solvents and dyes from water efficiently, particularly with a high adsorption capacity and reusability. Herein, the authors report a novel strategy of synthesis of a three-dimensional functionalized graphene aerogel (FGA) with porous structures for effective water purification. The FGA is prepared by a facile one-step hydrothermal method, in which graphene oxide is reduced by ethylenediamine and modified by dodecyltrimethoxysilane to enhance hydrophobicity. When used as an adsorbing material, the FGA exhibits a high adsorption capacity (130-242 g/g for oils and organic solvents, 197-596 mg/g for dyes). Furthermore, the FGA also exhibits high reusability and durability by being reused for organic solvent-water separation for ten cycles without losing its hydrophobicity, which makes it a good candidate for industrial water treatment.
