A team of researchers in Malaysia and its international collaborators has unveiled a hybrid nanocomposite that strips one of the world’s most stubborn textile pollutants, methylene blue, from water with remarkable speed and efficiency. The material, dubbed GA@SnO2-AC, combines gallic acid, a naturally occurring phenolic acid, with tin oxide nanoparticles anchored on activated carbon. In batch experiments, the adsorbent removed up to 98.64 percen…
