Construction of 2D g-C3N4/MoS2 heterojunction photocatalyst for enhanced degradation of pollution under visible light

ABSTRACT A novel g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 heterojunction photocatalyst with high efficient visible-light-region was fabricated by a facile calcination method. The composite with various weight ratios of g-C 3 N 4 and MoS 2 was synthesized and characterized. The results showed that MoS 2 was uniformly distributed on the surface of g-C 3 N 4 , resulting in the formation of heterostructure. The photocatalyst showed excellent photocatalytic activity in the photodegradation of organic pollutants. The optimized g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 sample (10-CNM) exhibited 94% (Methylene Blue) degradation efficiency after being irradiated for 2 h under visible light. At last, the possible mechanism of the enhanced photocatalytic activity was discussed.
