Developing environmentally friendly, cost-effective, biodegradable, and easily recyclable adsorbents is critical for efficient Cr(VI) removal. Here, we present an innovative solution using a Mg\/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH)-modified sphagnum cellulose gel (MgAl\/LDH@SMCG), prepared by pre-treating sphagnum cellulose, crosslinking with polyvinyl alcohol, and doping with LDH. The resulting porous composite gel features abundant -COOH and -OH chelating groups, significantly enhancing its adsorption capacity and structural stability. The material\u2019s structure and surface modifications were systematically characterized using SEM, TGA, FT-IR, and XPS. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to assess the influence of adsorbent dosage, initial Cr(VI) concentration, pH, contact time, and temperature on performance. Adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics analyses revealed a primary mechanism of monolayer chemical adsorption, with experimental data closely fitting the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The modified gel exhibits increased surface roughness and adsorption sites, resulting in markedly improved Cr(VI) removal efficiency. This study not only provides theoretical insights into Cr(VI) adsorption but also highlights the potential of LDH-functionalized cellulose gels for heavy metal wastewater treatment, offering a sustainable pathway for addressing global water contamination challenges.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules30081796","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,17]],"date-time":"2025-04-17T00:48:46Z","timestamp":1744850926000},"page":"1796","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Cr(VI) Adsorption by Mg\/Al Layered Double Hydroxide-Modified Sphagnum Moss Cellulose Gel: Performance and Mechanism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Junpeng","family":"Ren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Guizhou Education University, Guiyang 550018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shijiang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Guizhou Education University, Guiyang 550018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Guizhou Education University, Guiyang 550018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huixian","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Guizhou Education University, Guiyang 550018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheng","family":"Zhen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Guizhou Education University, Guiyang 550018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125753","DOI":"10.1016\/j.molliq.2024.125753","article-title":"A novel 3D hierarchical NiFe-LDH\/graphitic porous carbon composite as multifunctional adsorbent for efficient removal of cationic\/anionic dyes and heavy metal ions","volume":"411","author":"Zhang","year":"2024","journal-title":"J.
