BiOCl/WS2 hybrid nanosheet (2D/2D) heterojunctions for visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of organic/inorganic water pollutants

“…Fig. 10(a,c) and (b,d) and show the plots of experimental data for MG and Cr(VI), based on eqn (12) and (13), respectively. Table 6 (represents the absorption parameters as per eqn ( 12) and ( 13)) shows that the regression coefficient values (R 2 ) of eqn ( 12) and ( 13) are greater than 0.90.…”

“…[3][4][5] Since the rst report on TiO 2 catalyzed water splitting under the UV irradiation by Fujishima and Honda, 6 there has been a plethora of examples of hydrogen gas production via water splitting using solar energy and water disinfection by using photocatalytic degradation of water pollutants. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The photocatalytic degradation of water pollutants is a very promising technology being an eco-friendly, low cost technique and having a lack of any consequential contamination. [15][16][17] A large variety of semiconductor nanoheterostructures have been proposed and fabricated to date that contribute to the advancement of photocatalytic conversion technology.…”

Tuning the photocatalytic/electrocatalytic properties of MoS2/MoSe2 heterostructures by varying the weight ratios for enhanced wastewater treatment and hydrogen production

“…004), ( 006), ( 102), ( 111), ( 105), ( 201), ( 110), ( 103), ( 200) and (203) (hkl) planes respectively (JCPDS le no 77-1715) and intensity of these peaks increases as the amount of MoSe 2 in the composite increases. 30,31 The diffraction peaks of MoS 2 in the composite are present at 32.6 and 57.4 which corresponds to (100) and (110) planes of MoS 2 (JCPDS 37-1492). The XRD pattern of pure MoS 2 having diffraction peaks at 32.9 and 58 is shown in the inset of Fig.…”
