Due to the narrow layer spacing, graphene oxide (GO) composite membrane usually exhibits a relatively low water flux in the process of wastewater treatment. In this study, GO was reduced to reduced graphene oxide through a bio‐inspired method, which was functionalized modified by poly‐dopamine (PDA). Then a series of PDA/reduced graphene oxide sheet films were prepared by vacuum filtration on the surface of cellulose acetate membrane (under the pressure of −0.1 MPa). The result indicated that the novel membranes had an excellent stability owing to the cross‐link of PDA. In addition, the hydrophilicity of membrane was increased significantly after PDA modification, which presented a superior water flux than pure GO composite membrane. More importantly, as‐prepared membranes were successfully applied for the removal of dyes (including Congo red, methylene blue, and rhodamine B) and heavy mental ion (Cu(II)) from simulated wastewater. This work might provide a new method for preparation and application of GO composite membranes.
