Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide is a widely used material for environmental remediation in view of its excellent adsorption capacity, which is attributed to the active sulfur sites on the MoS2 surface. In addition, it presents advantages in comparison with other photocatalysts, such as high photocatalytic activity, low toxicity and good ability to remove organic and inorganic contaminants. In this review we will present the different methods of preparing molybdenum disulfide from mechanical, chemical, electrochemical exfoliation and the hydrothermal, solvothermal and chemical vapor deposition methods. It will be also addressed about  its superior properties such as the adsorption capacities for different types of heavy metals in solution, the types of photocatalytic degradation from the comparison with MoS2 -  based adsorbents with other adsorbents, as well as the adsorption mechanisms and the factors that affect this process, such as the pH and temperature of the solution, contact time, types of contaminants as well as the influence of other ions present in the solution that can hinder the adsorption process. The association of MoS2 with compounds based on graphene oxide and derived from nitrogen, titanium oxide and associations with bismuth and silver introduces advantage of increasing the material's ability to be explored as an adsorbent. Moreover, it is reported about the removal efficiency of the different associations of molybdenum disulfide against the different types of contaminants as well as the different factors that affect the overall efficiency.
