Hyper-Cross-linked Porous MoS2-Cyclodextrin-Polymer Frameworks: Durable Removal of Aromatic Phenolic Micropollutant from Water.

A reasonable and efficient strategy for the construction of hyper-cross-linked porous MoS2-CD-polymer frameworks (MoS2CDPFs) was demonstrated. Here, MoS2 nanosheets (NSs) can be decorated with amino functionalized β-cyclodextrin, producing a nanoscale structural motif (MoS2@CD) for the synthesis of MoS2CDPFs. We demonstrated that CD polymer (CDP) as linker can be uniformly incorporated into the frameworks. Except for the pores created between MoS2 NSs, polymer doping generates extra interspace between MoS2 NSs and CD monomer. Interestingly, the resultant MoS2CDPFs can rapidly sequester aromatic phenolic micropollutant bisphenol A (0.1 mM) from water with 93.2% adsorption capacity, which is higher than that of MoS2, MoS2@CD, and CDP. The intercalation between MoS2 sheets with CDP imparts the frameworks durability in adsorption/desorption of aromatic phenolic micropollutants. Remarkably, the removal efficiency reduced only 3% after 10 regeneration-reuse cycles. These findings demonstrated that the porous MoS2-CD-polymer-based frameworks are promising adsorbents for rapid, flow-through water remediation.
