Ex Situ Synthesis and Characterizations of MoS₂/WO₃ Heterostructures for Efficient Photocatalytic Degradation of RhB.

ABSTRACT: In this study, novel hydrothermal ex situ synthesis was adopted to synthesize MoS₂/WO₃ heterostructures using two different molar ratios of 1:1 and 1:4. The "bottom-up" assembly was successfully developed to synthesize spherical and flaky-shaped heterostructures. Their structural, morphological, compositional, and bandgap characterizations were investigated through XRD, EDX, SEM, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and FTIR analysis. These analyses help to understand the agglomerated heterostructures of MoS₂/WO₃ for their possible photocatalytic application. Therefore, prepared heterostructures were tested for RhB photodegradation using solar light irradiation. The % efficiency of MoS₂/WO₃ composites for 30 min irradiation of 1:1 was 9
