Synthesis of flower-like MoS₂/CNTs nanocomposite as an efficient catalyst for the sonocatalytic degradation of hydroxychloroquine.

ABSTRACT: Contamination of water resources by pharmaceutical residues, especially during the time of pandemics, has become a serious problem worldwide and concerns have been raised about the efficient elimination of these compounds from aquatic environments. This study has focused on the development and evaluation of the sonocatalytic activity of a flower-like MoS₂/CNTs nanocomposite for the targeted degradation of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). This nanocomposite was prepared using a facile hydrothermal route and characterized with various analytical methods, including X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy, which results confirmed the successful synthesis of the nanocomposite. Moreover, the results of the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy analyses showed an incre
