Fig. 1: The crystal and pore structure characterization of the samples.

a The XRD pattern of Z. b The XRD patterns of pure BaSO4 and pure MoS2, as well as the fresh and initially used MBZ. In both (a) and (b), the black clubs represent analcime-C. In (b), the diamond (and green line) and the black circles (and blue line) refer to BaSO4 and MoS2, respectively. The black and red lines represent fresh and initially used MBZ, respectively. c The N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms of the samples. d The pore size distribution of the samples. In both (c) and (d) the gray, orange, green, black, and red sphere lines or straight lines refer to BaSO4, MoS2, and Z, as well as the fresh and initially used MBZ, respectively.
