Abstract Current techniques trialed for the sequestration of heavy metals (HMs) are typically metal ion specific. The deployment of adsorbents as amenable choices for the simultaneous elimination of several HMs remained a big challenge. Herein, few-layered CoCNSP nanosheets with periodically aligned sulfur species were exfoliated from layered metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) through a facile-operating method. Laboratory scale experiments revealed that CoCNSP nanosheets showed selective uptake in the order of Co(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Ni(II) ≪ Cu(II)
