Controllable growth of MoS₂ nanosheets on TiO₂ burst nanotubes and their photocatalytic activity.

ABSTRACT: MoS₂ nanosheets were grown on TiO₂ nanotubes by the simple hydrothermal method for the first time. The layer-by-layer growth of MoS₂ nanosheets led to a significant increase in the specific surface area of TiO₂/MoS₂ burst tube composites compared with TiO₂ burst tubes, a significantly enhanced ability to separate photo-induced carriers, and synergistic adsorption and visible light catalytic activity of dye molecules. The maximum adsorption (q _max) of MB was 72.46 mg g^-1. In addition, 94.1% of MB could be degraded after 30 minutes of visible light irradiation. The microsurface morphology, structure, chemical composition, element valence and band width of TiO₂/MoS₂ nanocomposi
