biostudies-literatureUnknown12(35)Kisala JMolybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) is a layered material with interesting photocatalytic properties. In this study, a layered MoS₂ was produced using a hydrothermal method. The obtained material was characterised by XRD (X-ray diffraction), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), UV-Vis spectroscopy, DLS (dynamic light scattering), and zeta potential analysis. For the evaluation of the photocatalytic properties of layered MoS₂, a solution of bromophenol blue (BPB) and the catalyst was illuminated for 120 minutes. According to the experimental results, MoS₂ exhibited excellent catalytic activity in BPB degradation. The MoS₂ preparation method enabled improved light harvesting, avoided fast charge recombinatRSC advances22465-22475https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9366594biostudies-literaturePhotocatalytic activity of layered MoS₂ in the reductive degradation of bromophenol blue.PMC9366594Zaichenko OMitina NCieniek BKisala JPogocki DNebesnyi RKrzeminski PFerraria AMBobitski YfalsePhotocatalytic activity of layered MoS₂ in the reductive degradation of bromophenol blue.Molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) is a layered material with interesting photocatalytic properties.
