High-Efficiency Photocatalytic Degradation of Tannic Acid Using TiO₂ Heterojunction Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalysts have been extensively used for hydrogen evolution or organic degradation. In this work, two different heterojunction types of composite photocatalysts, 1T-MoS₂@TiO₂ with Schottky heterojunction and 2H-MoS₂@TiO₂ with type-II heterojunction, are synthesized via hydrothermal synthesis. These two composite materials exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity toward the degradation of tannic acid, which is a typical organic in nuclear wastewater. At an optimal loading of 16% 1T-MoS₂, the 1T-MoS₂@TiO₂ shows the highest degradation capacity of 98%, which is 3.2 times higher than that of pure TiO₂. The degradation rate of 16% 1T-MoS₂@TiO₂ is much higher than that of 13% 2H-Mo
