MoS₂-Cu/CuO@graphene Heterogeneous Photocatalysis for Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of MB from Water.

ABSTRACT: The industrial revolution resulted in the contamination of natural water resources. Therefore, it is necessary to save and recover the natural water resources. In this regard, polymer-based composites have attracted the scientific community for their application in wastewater treatment. Herein, molybdenum disulfide composites with a mix phase of copper, copper oxide and graphene (MoS₂-Cu/CuO@GN) were synthesized through the hydrothermal method. Methylene blue (MB) was degraded by around 93.8% within the 30 min in the presence of MoS₂-Cu/CuO@GN under visible light. The degradation efficiency was further enhanced to 98.5% with the addition of H₂O₂ as a catalyst. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of pure MoS₂, MoS₂-Cu/C
