Popis: A hierarchical and hybridized hydrogel with rational structure and composition as adsorbent possesses a series of distinct advantages, e.g., fast ion diffusion, high selectivity and good stability. Herein, a novel three-dimensional (3D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hydrogel with two-dimensional heterointerfaces is fabricated by an eco-friendly one-pot hydrothermal method. The heterointerfacial area could be readily tuned by the regulation of MoS2/rGO ratio, in order to improve the adsorption capacity and selectivity. The 3D MoS2-rGO hydrogel with 70 wt% MoS2 shows high selectivity for Hg(II) ions, with a distribution coefficient value (Kd) of 7.49 × 106 mL g−1 even in the presence of other coexisting ions. More attractively, the free-standing and flexible 3D MoS2-rGO hydrogel can be used as a column-packed device, providing an efficient pathway for the fast removal of 80 mg L−1 Hg(II) within 7 min to achieve a tolerable concentration of
