AB  - Water scarcity is a pressing issue experienced in numerous countries and is 
      expected to become increasingly critical in the future. Anthropogenic activities 
      such as mining, agriculture, industries, and domestic waste discharge toxic 
      contaminants into natural water bodies, causing pollution. Addressing these 
      environmental crises requires tackling the challenge of removing pollutants from 
      water. Graphene oxide (GO), a form of graphene functionalized with 
      oxygen-containing chemical groups, has recently garnered renewed interest due to 
      its exceptional properties. These properties include a large surface area, 
      mechanical stability, and adjustable electrical and optical characteristics. 
      Additionally, surface functional groups like hydroxyl, epoxy, and carboxyl groups 
      make GO an outstanding candidate for interacting with other materials or 
      molecules. Because of its expanded structural diversity and enhanced overall 
      properties, GO and its composites hold significant promise for a wide range of 
      applications in energy storage, conversion, and environmental protection. These 
      applications encompass hydrogen storage materials, photocatalysts for water 
      splitting, the removal of air pollutants, and water purification. Serving as 
      electrode materials for various lithium batteries and supercapacitors. 
      Graphene-based materials, including graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene 
      oxide, graphene polymer nanocomposites, and graphene nanoparticle metal hybrids, 
      have emerged as valuable tools in energy and environmental remediation 
      technologies. This review article provides an overview of the significant impact 
      of graphene-based materials in various areas. Regarding energy-related topics, 
      this article explores the applications of graphene-based materials in 
      supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, and catalysts for fuel cells. 
      Additionally, the article investigates recent advancements in detecting and 
      treating persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals using 
      nanomaterials. The article also discusses recent developments in creating 
      innovative nanomaterials, nanostructures, and treatment methods for addressing 
      POPs and heavy metals in water. It aims to present the field's current state and 
      will be a valuable resource for individuals interested in nanomaterials and 
      related materials.
