Molybdenum
disulfide (MoS2), as one of the most common
two-dimensional (2D) metal sulfides, has been attracting much attention
in the area of energy storage and environmental remediation, because
of its fascinating properties. Although much research regarding the
environmental application of MoS2 have been recently summarized,
reports on the recent progress of the removal of various environmental
pollutants on MoS2 are still scarce. Herein, we systematically
summarize the efficient elimination of environmental contaminants
(e.g., gas, organic, heavy metals, and radionuclides) on MoS2-based nanosheets. In addition, the interaction mechanisms (e.g.,
physical (hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces), ion-exchange, chemical
adsorption, and redox) of environmental contaminants on MoS2-based materials were elucidated in detail. Finally, the major challenges
and future prospective on MoS2-based materials were presented.
This review has important implication for the design of MoS2-based materials with high adsorption performance and strong redox
capacity toward the removal of various environmental pollutants in
actual application.
As one of porous metal-organic frameworks, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are typical crystalline materials with tetrahedral clusters (e.g., ZnN4 and CoN4) linked by imidazolate ligands. Due to the facile synthesis,...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
