Interface enriched highly interlaced layered MoS₂/NiS₂ nanocomposites for the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B dye.

ABSTRACT: In the past few decades, air and water pollution by organic dyes has become a serious concern due to their high toxicity. Removal of these organic dyes from polluted water bodies is a serious environmental concern and the development of new advanced photocatalytic materials for decomposing organic dyes can be a good solution. In this work, layered molybdenum disulfide/nickel disulfide (MoS₂/NiS₂) nanocomposites with various NiS₂ content was synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method using citric acid as a reducing agent. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows the hexagonal and cubical crystal structure of MoS₂ and NiS₂, respectively. Morphological analysis confirms the formation of MoS₂/NiS₂ nanosheets. The elemen
