Hydrothermal Synthesis of MoS2/rGO Heterostructures for Photocatalytic Degradation of Rhodamine B under Visible Light
Tóm tắt
MoS2/rGO composites were synthesized by hydrothermal method from the precursors of MoS2 and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) prepared in the former steps. The influence of the synthesis conditions including hydrothermal temperature and mass ratio of MoS2 to rGO on the structure, morphology, and optical absorption capacity of the MoS2/rGO composites was systematically investigated using physicochemical characterizations. The photocatalytic performance of as-prepared samples was investigated on the degradation of Rhodamine B under visible light, in which, the composites obtained at hydrothermal temperature of 180°C and MoS2/rGO mass ratio of 4/1 exhibited the highest photodegradation efficiency of approx. 80% after 4 hours of reaction. This enhancement in photocatalytic behaviour of composites could be assigned to the positive effect of rGO in life time expansion of photoinduced electrons—holes.
