AI Technical Summary
Existing MXene materials are easily oxidized in water, tend to aggregate, and have a negatively charged surface, which limits their adsorption and removal efficiency for organic pollutants in water such as ibuprofen. Furthermore, separation and recovery are difficult, and the limited grafting sites on the surface of MXene nanosheets restrict the introduction of polyionic liquid functional components, thus limiting the improvement of adsorption performance.
Poly(2,2,2-triphenylethylstyrene) was grafted onto MXene nanosheets and free radical active sites were generated through carbon-carbon weak bonds. Imidazole-based polyionic liquids were further grafted onto these sites to form MXene-based polymer brush adsorbents. The adsorption performance was improved by utilizing the abundant free radical active sites and the imidazole-based polyionic liquid components, while inhibiting the stacking and oxidation of nanosheets.
The adsorption and removal rate of ibuprofen pollutants was increased to 94.9%, and the stability and separation and recovery issues of MXene materials were resolved, achieving a highly efficient and easily separable adsorption effect.
