N-Carbon Coated Mn-MoOx Nanocomposite for Efficient Adsorption of Rhodamine B
摘要
The development of efficient and stable adsorbents for the removal of Rhodamine B (RhB) is of great significance in mitigating its environmental hazards. In this study, a nitrogen-doped carbon composite (Mn-MoOx@NC) was successfully synthesized via high-temperature annealing of [N(C4H9)4]3[MnMo6O18{(OCH2)3CNH2}2] (MnMo6) and dicyandiamide (DCA). The resulting material exhibited excellent adsorption performance, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 390.56 mg/g and a removal efficiency of 96% after five adsorption-desorption cycles. The adsorption process fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm model (R2=0.995) and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2=0.99), indicating that chemisorption played a dominant role. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption of RhB was spontaneous and exothermic. Notably, this study prepared oxide composite nanomaterials from polyoxometalates (POMs) derivatives through a one-step calcination method and applied them for the first time to the adsorption of RhB, providing a novel strategy for the removal of organic pollutants.
