Role of cellulose like materials in heavy metals coordination

This study investigates the coordination mechanism and electronic properties of cellulose and cellulose-like materials, such as dried banana peel, in the removal of heavy metals (Cadmium and Copper) from aqueous solutions. Using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level, model molecules of hydrated Cd...
