Abstract:Effective removal of chemically toxic selenium oxoanions at high-capacity and trace levels from contaminated water remains a challenge in current scientific pursuits. Here, we report the functionalization of the MgAl layered double hydroxide with molybdenum-oxysulfide (MoO 2 S 2 ) anion, referred to as LDH-MoO 2 S 2 , and its potential to sequester Se VI O 4 2− and Se IV O 3 2− from aqueous solution. LDH-MoO 2 S 2 nanosheets were synthesized by an ion exchange method in solution. Synchrotron X-ray pair distrib… Show more
