In this paper, the authors have report the fabrication of MnS2 with reduced graphene oxide (MnS2-RGO) composite through co-precipitation route. The prepared samples were characterized by analytical instruments like XPS, FTIR, XRD, BET, SEM-EDX, TEM, UV-DRS and TGA for understanding the optical, electrochemical, structural and thermal properties. The prepared composites and bare MnS2 were examined for their photocatalytic performance by the degradation of o-nitrophenols under visible light irradiations. However, MnS2-RGO-2 composite was the most effective photocatalyst for the degradation of o-nitrophenols in 75 min and can be recycled for continuous five cycles. The MnS2-RGO composites and bare MnS2 were further examined their antimicrobial activity over E.coli, S.aureus, S.typhi and V.cholera. In addition, the effect of RGO on enhanced catalytic degradation of o-nitrophenols under visible light irradiations and antibacterial activity as prepared composite exhibits tremendous properties of both MnS2 and RGO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
