Lithium plays an increasingly important role in scientific and industrial processes, and it is extremely important to extract lithium from a high Mg2+/Li+ mass ratio brine or to recover lithium from the leachate of spent lithium-ion batteries. Conventional wisdom shows that Li+ with low valence states has a much weaker adsorption (and absorption energy) with graphene than multivalent ions such as Mg2+. Here, we show the selective adsorption of Li+ in thermally reduced graphene oxide (rGO) membranes over other metal ions such as Mg2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, or Fe2+. Interestingly, the adsorption strength of Li+ reaches up to 5 times the adsorption strength of Mg2+, and the mass ratio of a mixed Mg2+/Li+ solution at a very high value of 500 : 1 can be effectively reduced to 0.7 : 1 within only six experimental treatment cycles, demonstrating the excellent applicability of the rGO membranes in the Mg2+/Li+ separation. A theoretical analysis indicates that this unexpected selectivity is attributed to the competition between cation–π interaction and steric exclusion when hydrated cations enter the confined space of the rGO membranes.

Microwave mediated in situ growth of nanocrystalline ZnO on rGO nanosheets is achieved using APTMS as the crosslinking agent. The deposition of hydrophobic ZnO/Si@rGO on a simple cotton textile results in the selective adsorption of oil from aqueous media.

A GR/l-cys/Bi/SPE (reduced graphene oxide/l-cysteine/Bi/screen-printed electrode) was prepared to simultaneously determine Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions by using SWASV (square wave anodic stripping voltammetry).
