Summary

Researchers developed a 3D metal sulfide ion exchanger capable of selectively removing lead ions from water with high efficiency. While focused on heavy metal removal, similar ion exchange materials could potentially be combined with microplastic removal in water treatment systems, since plastics often carry sorbed heavy metals.

A 3-D metal sulfide ion exchanger (MSIE) with extra-framework H + ions showed a remarkable capability for sorption of Pb 2+ ions and highly efficient luminescence sensing properties towards various heavy metal ions.
