Abstract
- To achieve the actual application of MoO x in absorption removal of organic dye from water, eco-friendly, facilely-scalable, high-yield, and cost-efficient synthesis of MoO x with desirable structures and superior adsorption capacities remains a great challenge. Herein, for the first time, a novel synthetic route to MoO 3 micro-/nanocrystals with different microstructures was based on mechanochemical reactions and subsequent annealing, and their inherent formation mechanisms were also discussed. Moreover, the adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics, and mechanism of Rhodamine B (RhB) on α h -MoO 3 hybrid were systematically investigated. The results show that the microstructures of MoO 3 can be controlled by facile adjusting the dosage of H 2 C 2 O 4 ·2H 2 O, which leads to the different milling precursors. The bicrystalline hybrid of α-MoO 3 nanosheets and h -MoO 3 microrods (α h -MoO 3 hybrid) exhibits an ultrahigh maximum adsorptive capacity (751.88 mg g−1) for RhB at the high initial concentration (80 mg L−1), more than 3 times enhancement compared to that of α-MoO 3 particles (210.16 mg g−1), which can be attributed to the larger specific surface area (28.77 m2 g−1) and more negative surface potential (−72.00 mV). This work provides a scalable and controllable route to synthesize MoO 3 micro-/nanocrystals with desired microstructures, contributing a promising and excellent adsorbent for the practical removal of organic dyes from water.
