Alkynyl functionalized MoS2 mesoporous materials with superb adsorptivity for heavy metal ions

Effective elimination of heavy metal ions from water is an arduous task for their toxic effects to aquatic ecosystem and human health. Herein, a novel alkynyl functionalized molybdenum disulfide (C-MoS2) is fabricated via mechanochemical method with well interlayered spacing, meso porosity, and high surface area (~211 m2g-1). Mineral MoS2 was first peeled mechanically and oxidized in situ to MoS2-xOx, and then reduced by ball milling with CaC2...
