文摘Heavy metal ions represent hazardous and harmful contaminants for living organisms and the environment and thus,it is of urgent need to develop new materials sufficient to detect and remove them efficiently.Herein,we report the metal sulfide ion exchanger(MSIE)H_(x)Ga_(x)Ge_(4−x)S_(8)·yH_(2)O(protonated UCR-20,p-UCR-20)which demonstrates exceptional capability for both detection and removal of heavy metals from aqueous samples.
