> The powder consists of nano-size flakes of aluminum oxide, molybdenum sulfide, copper, and iron oxide.
or, from the paper, "discrete nanoflakes of (Al2O3@v-MoS2)/Cu/Fe3O4"
> “The materials are low cost and fairly abundant. The key innovation is that, when immersed in water, they all function together.”
> The nontoxic powder is also recyclable. Iron oxide enables the nanoflakes to be removed from water with an ordinary magnet.
> The chemical byproducts generated by sunlight also dissipate quickly.
I'd be curious to learn more about potential byproducts. Seems like the study focused on only a few types of wastewater. In practice it'd have to handle a much larger variety of chemical and biological constituents
