There is a need for effective and sustainable adsorbents for the removal of textile dyes from aqueous solutions. The use of graphene oxide as an adsorbent for textile dyes is a relatively new area of research. There is a lack of understanding of the adsorption mechanism and kinetics of textile dyes on graphene oxide-based adsorbents.
