Highlights Graphene oxide-ceria (GO-CeO2) nanohybrid exhibited ultra-rapid kinetics (<1 min) for F– removal. Maximum F– adsorption capacity was 8.61 mg/g at pH 6.5 and 16.07 mg/g at pH 4.0. Both electrostatic interaction and surface complexation participated in the F? removal process. The nanohybrid has the potential for use in high throughput defluoridation systems. Abstract The […]
