Aminoclay (AC), as a kind of layered silicates with positive charges, shows high dispersity in water and has been widely applied in the fabrication of intelligent hybrid hydrogel. Herein, heptakis-[6-deoxy-6-(2-sulfanylethanesulfonic acid)]-β-cyclodextrin (SCD), a kind of negatively charged cyclodextrin, was employed to construct the supramolecular hydrogel with aminoclay through the static electronic interactions, and the resultant SCD-AC hydrogel was fully characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), zeta potential, rheological test, etc. Significantly, the SCD-AC hydrogel can efficiently absorb not only I 3 ion in aqueous solution but also I 2 molecule in organic solvent, giving a high adsorption capacity up to 90% with 10 min.
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.
