Ultrasound assisted electrodeposition of photocatalytic antibacterial MoS₂-Zn coatings controlled by sodium dodecyl sulfate.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalytic MoS₂ with visible light response is considered as a promising bactericidal material owing to its non-toxicity and high antibacterial efficiency. However, photocatalysts always exist as powder, so it is difficult to settle photocatalysts on the metal surface, which limits their application in aqueous environments. To solve this problem, ultrasound and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were introduced into the co-deposition process of MoS₂ and zinc matrix, so that novel MoS₂-Zn coatings were obtained. In this process, ultrasound and SDS strongly promoted the dispersion and adsorption of MoS₂ on the co-depositing surfaces. Then MoS₂ were proved to be composited into the Zn matrix with effective structures, and the addition of SD
