- This work developed a scalable technique to produce superhydrophobic/superoleophilic graphene, and discovered that as-prepared graphene is a universally effective absorbent for various ions, oils and organics. It is being further developed on a semi-industrial scale by a consortium (funded by the India-UK Water Quality award, NE/R003548/1, ~£500K) comprising 4 universities and 15 industrial partners (including UK Water Industry Research, South West Water, and Severn Trent Water), aiming to develop new affordable treatments for emerging contaminants and support water pollution control in both India and the UK. An international conference ("Water for All: Emerging Issues and Innovations" 31/9-2/9/2021) is being organised.
