“…Although Fe 3 O 4 adsorbents show high adsorption efficiencies, their major significance is their ability to separate easily from the supernatant after adsorption on their own or via the application of external magnetic fields [73,85]. NMs, which have a particle size range of 1 nm to 100 nm, have been employed to overcome the shortcomings of conventional adsorbents in recent decades [98]. Recently, MS-NMs have been used in environmental remediation.…”

“…The careful balance between the energy from the polar charges, surface area, and elastic deformation results in the diverse shapes and morphologies crucial to the characteristics and efficiency of MS-NMs [82]. Furthermore, the surface functions give locations for the absorption of particular or selective ions, hence improving their removal efficiency [98].…”

Heavy metals pollution of aqueous solutions generates considerable concerns as they adversely impact the environment and health of humans. Among the remediation technologies, adsorption with metal sulfide nanomaterials has proven to be a promising strategy due to their cost-effective, environmentally friendly, surface modulational, and amenable properties. Their excellent adsorption characteristics are attributed to the inherently exposed sulfur atoms that interact with heavy metals through various processes. This work presents a comprehensive overview of the sequestration of heavy metals from water using metal sulfide nanomaterials. The common methods of synthesis, the structures, and the supports for metal sulfide nano-adsorbents are accentuated. The adsorption mechanisms and governing conditions and parameters are stressed. Practical heavy metal remediation application in aqueous media using metal sulfide nanomaterials is highlighted, and the existing research gaps are underscored.
