An investigation on the synthesis and characterization of MoS2 nanoflowers draped g-C3N4 nano sheet (g-C3N4 / MoS2 / MnOOH) ternary composite for the efficient photocatalytic applications

Abstract

In this study,MoS2/g-C3N4Nano flower like composite is synthesizedusing hydrothermal procedure to identify its photo catalytic properties on Methyl Dyes. The morphology, structure and optical properties of the produced materials are studied by X-Ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FESEM, EDAX and UV –Vis Spectroscopy. The results received through characterizations confirmed that g-C3N4nanosheets are embedded with flower-like MoS2.The construction of the hetero junction is successful and widened absorptionrange in visible light is identified. Iste water contaminated by methyl dyes can be purified using thesynthesized composite. The suitability of the synthesized composite can be efficient in the removal of methyl dyes from industrial istes and domestic istes.
