Transition Metal Dichalcogenide-Silk Nanofibril Membrane for One-Step Water Purification and Precious Metal Recovery.

With the rapid worldwide industrial development, large amounts of pollutants such as heavy metals are discharged into the water sources, causing a huge threat to living beings. To mitigate this issue, there is an urgent need for new water treatment strategies. Inspired by a natural shell nacre structure and a multidimensional hybrid concept, we demonstrate multilayered inorganic-organic hybrid membranes using metallic molybdenum disulfide (MoS
