The Cr(VI) adsorbed on the layer of rGO/PANI utilized as metal ion center, MIL-53(Cr)/rGO/PANI (M-53/G-P) and MIL-101(Cr)/rGO/PANI (M-101/G-P) composites were prepared by hydrothermal method.

Results indicate: compared with rGO/PANI (38.98 m<sup>2</sup>·g<sup>−1</sup>), the M-53/G-P (137.87 m<sup>2</sup>·g<sup>−1</sup>) and M-101/G-P (70.91 m<sup>2</sup>·g<sup>−1</sup>) show higher BET surface area.
