Zinc Oxide Coating Effect for the Dye Removal and Photocatalytic Mechanisms of Flower-Like MoS2 Nanoparticles

Abstract

Flower-like MoS2 nanoparticles (NPs) consist of ultra-thin MoS2 nanosheets are synthesized via a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. The MoS2/ZnO p-n heterostructure is formed by coating n-type ZnO on the surface of flower-like MoS2 NPs through the seed-mediate route and post-annealing treatment. The effects for the dye removal and photocatalytic performances after ZnO coating are systematically investigated. The results demonstrated that the coating of ZnO nanoparticles has a positive promotion to the photodegrading properties while negative effect on the adsorption capacity of the MoS2/ZnO heterostructures. The related mechanisms on the relationship of adsorption capacity and photocatalysis are discussed in detail.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s11671-017-2005-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Visible Light-Driven Photocatalytic Performance of N-Doped ZnO/g-C3N4 Nanocomposites

“…However, the easy recombination of its photogenerated charges restricts its photocatalytic performance and greatly limits its wide practical application [ 15 ]. Constructing a suitable heterojunctional composite is one of the most general methods to improve the photogenerated charge separation [ 16 – 18 ]. Coupling g-C 3 N 4 with ZnO could yield an excellent heterostructure, since these two semiconductors have well-matched, overlapping band structures [ 6 ].…”

“…2h resulted from (100) and (110) planes of MoS 2 13,16 . 2p ½ orbitals 40,41 respectively, whereas peak at ~164.9 eV corresponds to C-S-C group 39,42,43 .…”

Прозрачные фотоактивные ZnO-MgO-Ag-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-O-покрытия на стеклах

“…Это может обеспечить повышение их эффективности при использовании солнечного света в качестве источника излучения. Смещение фоточувствительности фотокатализаторов в длинноволновую часть спектра достигается за счет применения гетероструктурных композиций, содержащих наряду с ZnO и/или TiO 2 связанные с ними полупроводниковые частицы с меньшей шириной запрещенной зоны [10,11]. Другой подход к увеличению чувствительности фотокатализатора к видимому свету состоит во введении в его структуру тонких пленок или наночастиц металлов [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
