Preparation, characterization, and adsorption mechanism of cogon grass-derived cellulose nanofibers/graphene nanoplatelets aerogels for diclofenac sodium removal from water

The presence of diclofenac sodium (DCF) residues in water streams poses significant risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health. The ecotoxicity of pharmaceutical contaminants can be mitigated by developing advanced materials to supplement conventional wastewater treatment methods. This study aims...
