Abstract

Bi2S3/MoS2/g-C3N4 nanocomposite was synthesized using a solid-state method for the first time. Thiourea and bulk Bi2MoO6 were used as the precursors and were reacted under a nitrogen atmosphere. Bi2S3/MoS2/g-C3N4 was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microcopy, X-ray photoelectron spectra and ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The structure of Bi2S3/MoS2/g-C3N4 is a three-dimensional network structure formed by uniform loading of g-C3N4 and MoS2 around the rod-like Bi2S3 framework. The photodegradation performance was evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B during irradiation by a 350 W Xe lamp. The degradation rate of Bi2S3/MoS2/g-C3N4 towards rhodamine B reached 95.1% after irradiation for 150[Formula: see text]min. This study will provide new insights into the design of efficient and stable heterostructures for photocatalytic applications.
