Abstract

In this study, hierarchical TiO2@MoS2 microtubes were prepared through facile processes of a hydrothermal method, sol-gel process and final sulfidation reaction, which was evaluated as good adsorbents for the removal of Rhodamine B (RhB). Owing to one-dimensional hierarchical hollow microtubes, and the synergistic adsorption between the MoS2 nanosheets and mesoporous TiO2, the resulting composites showed large specific surface areas and excellent high adsorption capacity of 94.01 mg g−1 on RhB than that of an individual component (TiO2, MoS2). Adsorption behavior of TiO2@MoS2 exhibits a better fitting to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model. Furthermore, the high adsorption capacity renders the TiO2@MoS2 hollow microtubes good property in practicability for the removal of organic pollutants.
