摘要：
2-D-layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and MoS2/TiO2 nanocomposite were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The effects of the concentration of TiO2 on the formation of MoS2/TiO2 composites and functional properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed the formation of hexagonal and anatase structure of MoS2 and TiO2, respectively. Core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the presence of Mo and Ti interaction by a significant peak shift. Morphological analysis revealed the formation of TiO2 on the surface of the MoS2 nanosheets. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in an aqueous suspension was employed to evaluate the visible-light activity of the as-prepared composite photocatalyst. The MB absorption peaks completely disappeared after 12 min with 99.33% of degradation under visible-light irradiation at the TiO2 concentration of 0.005 M. It was found that hydroxyl radical (cOH) played an important role in the degradation of MB under visible-light irradiation. The possible charge-transfer mechanism has been proposed in this study.
