Structure-enhanced removal of Cr(<scp>vi</scp>) in aqueous solutions using MoS₂ ultrathin nanosheets

Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) ultrathin nanosheets with enlarged interlayer spacing and defects enables the structure-enhanced removal of Cr(<sc>vi</sc>), in which the synergistic effects of adsorption and reduction not only captured Cr(<sc>vi</sc>) from aqueous solutions, but also alleviated the toxicity of chromium to some degree.
