Abstract
• ZAC@VS 2 disperses the modified tubular carbon material in VS 2 lamella. • ZAC@VS 2 has improved active sites and conductivity. • ZAC@VS 2 shows considerable specific capacitance and low charging resistance. • ZAC@VS 2 electrode displays a prominent heavy metal ions of lead (II) adsorption capacity and rate. • ZAC@VS 2 electrode has the superior ion selectivity to Pb 2+ than Fe 3+ and Na ± . The conventional separation technologies, like chemical precipitation and adsorption processes, cannot quickly and selectively separate and recycle heavy metal ions from waste. Due to its rich sulfur content and excellent electrical conductivity, vanadium disulfide is a potential material for effectively removing lead from wastewater. The vanadium disulfide material with selective adsorption ability was introduced into CDI technology to construct a coupling technology with both advantages. The N -doped modified ZIF@vanadium disulfide (ZAC@VS 2 ) composites were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. Electrosorption experiments show that ZAC@VS 2 material presents the remarkable saturated adsorption capacity to lead(II) ions (239.52 mg/g) in the 500 mg/L PbCl 2 solution. In the triplex blend system (Fe 3+ /Pb 2+ /Na + ) with each solute density of 100 mg/L, the saturated adsorption efficiency of 85.4% to Pb 2+ can still be maintained. In addition, compared with the Langmuir(R 2 =0.873) adsorption isotherm model, the Freundlich model (R 2 =0.922) can be better used to fit the adsorption process, which proves that the adsorption process is multilayered and heterogeneous. XPS tests and competitive adsorption experiments show that the electric double layer (EDL) and complexation together promote the selective adsorption of heavy metal ions by ZAC@VS 2 . ZAC@VS 2 composite electrode shows excellent performance in the removal of lead ions in battery waste liquid, indicating the potential of introducing ZAC@VS 2 into CDI to remove lead ions.
