Water pollution is a serious worldwide problem that endangers ecosystems, human health, and socioeconomic advancement. Because of their novel excellent performances, graphene-based materials (GBMs) have become a viable option for water treatment. This review identifies key characteristics that make GBMs potentially effective in eliminating various pollutants from the aquatic environment. We investigate how GBMs might remove pollutants by oxidation, reduction, and adsorption. Even though they exhibit encouraging traits, several problems still need to be resolved, such as increasing stability, increasing synthesis efficiency, and assessing ecological effects. Future studies should focus on resolving these problems in order to promote the broader application of GBMs in mass-scale systems. We look forward to confidently employing GBMs to help safeguard the environment and create a more sustainable future. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
