Using a combination of a highly porous covalent organic framework (COF) and graphene, they found they could effectively scrub pollutants away. The results of the study were published in the weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal Angewandte Chemie.

The first author of the study and postdoctoral scientist Li said: “There are various ways today, including activated carbon filters, to purify water, but there is still room for improvement in terms of the efficiency or adsorption capacity of the applications....
