Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial-MoS (molybdenum disulfide) has gained interest among researchers, owing to its exceptional mechanical, biological, and physiochemical properties. This paper reports on the removal of organic dyes and an emerging contaminant, Ciprofloxacin, by a 2D MoS nanoflower as an adsorbent. The material was prepared by a green hydrothermal technique, and its high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-specific area of 185.541m/g contributed to the removal of 96% rhodamine-B dye and 85% Ciprofloxacin. Various characterizations, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy linked with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, revealed the nanoflower structure with good crystallinity. The feasibility and efficacy of 2D MoS nanoflower as a promising adsorbent candidate for the removal of emerging pollutants was confirmed in-depth in batch investigations, such as the effects of adsorption time, MoS dosages, solution pH, and temperature. The adsorption mechanism was further investigated based on thermodynamic calculations, adsorption kinetics, and isotherm modeling. The results confirmed the exothermic nature of the enthalpy-driven adsorption as well as the fast kinetics and physisorption-controlled adsorption process. The recyclability potential of 2D MoS exceeds four regeneration recycles. MoS nanoflower has been shown to be an effective organic pollutant removal adsorbent in water treatment.

Flexible supercapacitors offer significant potential for powering next-generation flexible electronics. However, the mechanical and electrochemical stability of flexible supercapacitors under different flexibility conditions is limited by the weak bonding between neighboring layers, posing a major obstacle to their practical application. In this paper, natural coniferous pulp cellulose was successfully modified with ethylenediamine and NiSe/Cell-NH/MoS cellulose flexible electrodes (NCMF) were fabricated by phase transfer and hydrothermal methods.

Water pollution resulting from Hg(II) ions has garnered significant global concern for public health. The flexibility and simplicity of design, cost savings, and ease of operation with adaptive designs provide adsorption with a considerable advantage over other processes. However, MoS is hydrophobic in nature, which limits its efficiency in the removal of Hg(II) ions from water.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries offer a high theoretical energy density but suffer from poor cycling stability and polysulfide shuttling, which limits their practical application. To address these challenges, we developed a PANI-modified MoS-NG composite, where MoS nanoflowers were uniformly grown on graphene oxide (GO) through PANI modification, resulting in an increased interlayer spacing of MoS. This expanded spacing exposed more active sites, enhancing polysulfide adsorption and catalytic conversion.

The prospective of percutaneous drug delivery (PDD) mechanisms to address the limitations of oral and injectable treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is increasing. These limitations encompass inadequate compliance among patients and acute gastrointestinal side effects. However, the skin's intrinsic layer can frequently hinder the percutaneous dispersion of RA medications, thus mitigating the efficiency of drug delivery.
