Nanocellulose, graphene oxide (GO), and their combinations there off have attracted great attention for the application of water purification recently because of their unique adsorption capacity, mechanical characteristics, coordination with transition metal ions, surface charge density, and so on. In the current study, (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxylradical) (TEMPO)-mediated oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) and GO sheets or graphene oxide nanocolloid (nanoGO) biohybrids were prepared by vacuum filtration method to obtain self-assembled adsorbents and membranes for water purification. The porous biohybrid structure, studied using advanced microscopy techniques, revealed a unique networking and self-assembling of TOCNF, GO, and nanoGO, driven by the morphology of the GO phase and stabilized by the intermolecular H-bonding between carboxyl groups and hydroxyl groups. The biohybrids exhibited a promising adsorption capacity toward Cu(II) due to TOCNF and formed a unique arrested state in water because of ionic cross-linking between adsorbed Cu(II) and the negatively charged TOCNF and GO phase. The mechanical performance of the freestanding biohybrid membranes investigated using PeakForce Quantative NanoMechanics characterization confirmed the enhanced modulus of the hybrid membrane compared to that of the TOCNF membrane. Besides, the TOCNF+nanoGO membrane shows unique hydrolytic stability and recyclability even under several cycles of adsorption and desorption and strong sonication. This study shows that TOCNF and nanoGO hybrids can generate new water-cleaning membranes with synergistic properties because of their high adsorption capacity, flexibility, hydrolytic stability, and mechanical robustness.
