Nanomaterials of high surface area as well as strong absorb and catalytic abilities have gradually been used in the environmental remediation field by replacing the traditional materials, and thus might be a important choice of future pollutant control materials. It is of great academic and application importance to develop high efficient environmental pollutant control materials for the applications in the fields of air, water and soil remediation and recovery. Our group has designed some high surface area environmental nanomaterials and  employed them for the high efficient removal of heavy metal ions ( e.g. Cr6+,Cu2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ etc) from water.
