This study introduces a nano-biohybrid approach that combines a CuInS?/Ni-MoS?/NrGO Z-scheme heterojunction with live biomass of Deinococcus radiodurans R1 under anaerobic conditions. This combination aims to enhance the reductive sorption of Cr (VI). A Z-scheme heterojunction composed of CuInS?, Ni-MoS?, and NrGO was synthesized using the hydrothermal technique. The structural and morphological properties of the synthesized nanomaterials (NMs) were examined through various techniques, including XRD, FT-IR, UV-VIS DRS, FE-SEM, EDX, PL, XPS, Raman spectroscopy, and Mott-Schottky analysis. The CuInS?-Ni-MoS?-NrGO nanocomposite achieved nearly 97% removal of Cr (VI) at an initial dose of 50 mg/L within 3 h, which is almost three times more effective than the individual NMs CuInS?, Ni-MoS?, and NrGO. Further, applying the nano-biohybrid synergetic system enabled complete removal of Cr (VI) even at 200 mg/L, enhancing its removal capacity by 2.5-fold higher than the bare nanocomposite. The Langmuir isotherm model fits well with the experimental data, confirming homogeneous monolayer adsorption with a maximum Cr (VI) reductive sorption capacity of 333 mg/g. The intra-particle diffusion model analysis indicated that external mass transfer plays a dominant role in controlling the overall Cr (VI) sorption process. Furthermore, kinetic studies revealed that the Cr (VI) removal follows a pseudo-second-order model, suggesting chemisorption as the primary mechanism. The nanocomposite exhibited strong reusability, maintaining 86.5% Cr (VI) removal efficiency over 4 cycles. These results highlight the potential of nano-biohybrid systems as an efficient strategy for Cr (VI) remediation from contaminated wastewater. 2026 Elsevier B.V.
