▎ 摘　　要

Cu nanoparticles@graphene oxide composites (CGC) were synthesized by a simplistic and effective chemical reduction method. The resulting CGC composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The performance of the CGC composites for dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride was evaluated. The batch investigations indicated that carbon tetrachloride could be almost completely removed by CGC after 75 min. The adsorption isotherm was also discussed. The high removal capacities of CGC with respect to the bare nanoscale zerovalent copper owe to the increased adsorption sites in the composites that are resulted from aggregation inhibition, which leads to the reduced Cu nanoparticles size.
