Abstract
A method of desalinating an aqueous solution using a nanocomposite material includes contacting electrodes with an aqueous solution. The aqueous solution includes one or more pollutants and the nanocomposite material. The nanocomposite material includes graphene oxide and zeolitic imidazolate framework-7 (ZIF-7). The nanocomposite material is in the form of particles with the longest dimension ranging from 0.5 to 5 μm. The method further includes applying a potential to the electrodes and adsorbing the one or more pollutants on the nanocomposite material.
