C...Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) nanocomposite monolith containing MoS 2 nanoflakes, graphene oxide (GO) and amorphous SiO 2 was fabricated through a simple mixing process and hydrothermal treatment. Compared with GO monolith prepared under identical conditions, the MoS 2 –GO monolith had larger specific surface area, smaller pore diameter, as well as much higher adsorption capacity for Cu 2+ and Rhodamine B. Introducing amorphous SiO 2 into the end monolith by using tetraethyl orthosilicate as a reactant in the synthesis reduced shrinkage and produced a greater number of large pores (>1 μm pore diameter) in the monolith. The specific surface area and pore diameter of the MoS 2 –GO monolith were 321.4 m 2 g −1 and 11.71 nm, respectively. The higher adsorption capacity was ascribed to the presence of many S atoms in the MoS 2 nanoflakes inside the monolith.Read More
