MXene-based nanocomposites: emerging candidates for the removal of antibiotics, dyes, and heavy metal ions

Abstract

MXenes have been regarded as a promising material for the separation and removing of toxic pollutants from the environment due to its excellent optical, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties. This...

Molybdenum Sulfide Nanomaterial: A Potential Candidate for Separation Membranes

“…However, developing robust, high-performance materials and dealing with humidity in hostile environments are exceedingly difficult for novel membrane technology applications. In this regard, a large range of materials have been studied, including polymers, zeolite, metal-organci frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), graphene, and metal carbides and nitrides (Mxene) [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41], but their market potential is constrained by their low selectivity and unstable nature. So, the scientific community continues to place a high focus on choosing materials with advanced selectivity, stability, and flux.…”

High-performance asparagine-modified graphene oxide membranes for organic dyes and heavy metal ion separation

“…11 Inorganic membranes are more water-resistant than polymeric membranes, but their large-scale manufacture is difficult and expensive. 14 In addition, carbon nanotubes, 15–17 metal carbides, 18–21 transition metal dichalcogenides, 22–24 metal–organic frameworks, 25–27 covalent organic-frameworks, 28,29 etc. , are also studied for salt and dye separation.…”

Fabrication of a symbiotic polyvinyl alcohol-functionalized NiO/rGO nanoadsorbent for control of bisphenol-a removal

“…Over the past few decades, the progress of the global economy and the growth of industrialization have led to significant environmental challenges, with water pollution being a particularly prominent issue. 1–6 Various environmental pollutants, including synthetic organic compounds, heavy metal ions, etc. , are released by different industrial sectors on a daily basis into aquatic environments.…”
