A polypyrrole/chitosan composite material was obtained by chemical polymerization. The adsorption performance of a hot-molded polypyrrole/chitosan composite electrode was tested by adsorption/desorption experiments. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy both showed the deposition of polypyrrole on the chitosan surface. The specific capacitance of the polypyrrole/chitosan composite was determined by cyclic voltammetry in 1.0 M KCl at 0.01 V/s as 102.96 F/g. The adsorption/desorption experiments indicated that the specific adsorption capacity of the composite for Cu2+ was 99.67 mg/g, while the removal performance for other metal ions, such as Ag+, Pb2+, and Cd2+, was good. The results of multicycle adsorption/desorption tests showed that the adsorption rate of the polypyrrole/chitosan composite electrode for Cu2+ was decreased from 56.4 to 51.4% over 10 cycles, demonstrating the stable metal-ion adsorption/desorption behavior of the composite electrode. The obtained performances show that the prepared polypyrrole/chitosan composite material is an ideal electrode material for the removal of heavy metal ions.

Currently, the preparation of outstanding adsorbents has attracted public concern in environmentally friendly and sustainable pollutant redress. Herein, we report a directional freeze-drying method to prepare a strong and reusable adsorbent by introducing metal-organic framework which modified by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (named UiO-66-EDTA) into cellulose nanofiber (CNF) aerogel. Compared to traditional aerogels, the fabricated adsorbent showed a good flexibility and reusability by forming a homogeneous three-dimensional structure. By controlling the concentration of a crosslinkable carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution, we produced aerogels with different pore structures and fibrillar, columnar, and lamellar morphologies. The obtained UiO-66-EDTA/CNF/CMC aerogel (U-EDTACCA) showed an excellent adsorption performance for a total of nine types of heavy metal ions, as the removal efficiency could reach 91%. Moreover, the aerogels could retain 88% of their original shape after five cycles. The aerogel may be an appropriate material for the adsorption of heavy metal ions.
