Carbon‐based sorbents with 3D architectures have been proven to be some of the most promising materials for water remediation. On page 3319, H. Zhang and co‐workers highlight the recent advances for these promising materials, with a focus on the synthesis of carbon‐based 3D architectures derived from various precursors (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, biomass, and synthetic polymers) and their applications in water remediation, such as the removal of oils/organics, ions, and dyes.
