Abstract
Two-dimensional TiS3-nanostructures have been used to successfully remove toxic-industrial pollutants such as methyl-orange(MO) and methyl-blue(MB) from water bodies. Two-dimensional TiS3-nanostructures with exceptional mobility properties have been produced using the chemical vapor transport(CVT) technique and its photocatalytic capabilities are examined for potential environmental applications.Under infrared(IR) irradiation, the produced TiS3-nanoribbons were evaluated for their ability to degrade MO and MB solutions. TiS3-nanoribbons reveal significant high disintegration percentage; it is capable to decompose 90.3% of 50 μM MO pollutant solution in 5 min. Moreover it decomposes 94.4% of 50 μM MO solution as well as 10 μM MB solution in 20 min and 12 min, respectively.
