Abstract

Abstract: The available alkaline recovery membranes are currently dominated by polymeric materials, but they suffer from a permeation-selectivity trade-off and inferior chemical resistance. Robust two dimensional (2D) lamellar membranes with sub-nanometer wide channels are promising candidates for discerning OH^- and other anions. Here, we report the development of alkaline recycling membranes through stacking MoS₂ nanosheets. Benefiting from the ordered and narrow 2D channels, MoS₂ membranes show excellent alkaline recovery performances. The OH^- dialysis coefficient () and separation factor (S) towards simulated OH^- and across the 500 nm thick MoS₂ laminates reach 6.9×10^-3 m·h^-1 and 34.3 respectively. Furthermore, the chemical environments of MoS₂ laminates were modulated by intercalating ionic poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS@MoS₂). The and S values of PSS@MoS₂ membrane further improve to 11.7×10^-3 m·h^-1 and 49.8 respectively. Besides, both MoS₂ and PSS@MoS₂ membranes exhibit promising stability.
