Abstract

An ethylammonium-templated indium sulfide, [CH₃CH₂NH₃]₆In₈S₁₅ (InS-2), featuring anionic layers perforated with large, 24-membered rings that facilitate the accommodation of hydrated Sr²⁺ ions is reported. InS-2 exhibits an excellent adsorption performance toward Sr²⁺ with a top-ranked capacity (q_m = 143.29 mg g^-1), rapid kinetics, wide pH durability (3-14), β- and γ-radiation resistances, and a facile elution.
