MoS2 Quantum Dots Decorated NH2-MIL-125 Heterojunction: Preparation and Visible Light Photocatalytic Performance

doi:10.15541/jim20190010

Abstract

Abstract:

MoS₂ quantum dots (QDs) decorated NH₂-MIL-125 (MoS₂ QDs/NH₂-MIL-125) heterostructures were successfully fabricated by a facile method. XRD results exhibit that NH₂-MIL-125 and MoS₂ form crystals in the synthesis process of MoS₂ QDs/NH₂-MIL-125 heterojunctions. TEM results demonstrated clearly that the MoS₂ Quantum dots with size of about 4 nm successfully disperse on the surface of NH₂-MIL-125 plate. Compared with bulk MoS₂ and NH₂-MIL-125, the MoS₂ QDs/NH₂-MIL-125 heterostructures exhibit enhanced photocatalytic performance in degradation of methyl orange under visible light irradiation, about 5.8 and 7.4 times higher that of pure bulk MoS₂ and NH₂-MIL-125, respectively. Meanwhile, MoS₂ QDs/NH₂-MIL-125 composites exhibit good stability and reusability during cycle experiment. The excellent photocatalytic activity of MoS₂ QDs/NH₂-MIL-125 heterostructures is attributed to the formation of heterojunctions between MoS₂ QDs and NH₂-MIL-125, Tacilitating separation of the photogenerated charge carries. PL results prove that MoS₂ QDs/NH₂-MIL-125 composites own lower recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, resulting in superior photocatalytic ability.
