Self-Tunable, Exfoliated Oxygen-Rich Flower-like MoS<sub>2</sub> Nanosheets for Arsenic Removal: Investigations on Substitution, Stability, and Sustainability (3S) for Maxi-Sorption
In
this study, we synthesized La-incorporated O-rich defective
MoS2 nanosheets by a simple, inexpensive, in situ hydrothermal
reaction to self-exfoliate the bulky MoS2 layers themselves
so that they can readily trap hard base anions, arsenic (arsenite
and arsenate), from water. Attempting to modify MoS2 surfaces
by incorporating O allows for more active sites, which is confirmed
by powder XRD patterns where the exfoliated layers have a d-spacing of 0.63 nm, while the spacing for the bulky layers
is 0.60 nm. The substitution of La at different equivalent ratios
on the interlayer/surface improves the adsorption properties of arsenite
and arsenate in simple solutions, as shown by the Langmuir adsorption
density values of 0.7760 and 1.4363 mmol g–1, respectively.
When the O-rich MoS2 layers were loaded with La, the adsorption
densities improved, with La1.0 equiv showing the best values among
the materials studied. The presence of O and S was more responsible
for the removal of arsenite ions, and La and O, together with a small
amount of N, were able to remove arsenate ions from water according
to the well-known Pearson’s Lewis acid−base principle.
The stability of the materials was characterized after the experiments,
and it was found that there was no leaching of the materials by ICP-OES
and the stability was maintained after 6 regeneration cycles. With
the exception of phosphate, which behaves chemically similar to arsenic,
the adsorption densities were not significantly affected by the mono-
and divalent anions, indicating the selectivity of the prepared materials.
The synthesis cost of MoOxS2–x was 2 times lower than that of bulky MoS2, and its adsorption properties were 10 times higher than those of
the latter. The results suggest that La-substituted O-rich MoS2 is a potential candidate for the removal of soft and hard
base metals from water
