Highly efficient adsorption of dye using novel reduced graphene oxide/halloysite nanocomposite

The novel composite nanomaterials were synthesized via a simple method from two natural clay mineral sources, graphite and halloysite. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) methods.
