Three-dimensional (3D) polymer—metal–carbon framework for efficient removal of chemical and biological contaminants

Abstract The continuously increased existence of contaminants such as chemical and biological mainly dye, bacteria, and heavy metals ions (HMI) in water bodies has increased environmental concern due to their hostile effects on living things. Therefore, there is necessity to be developed newer mater...
