Abstract

ABSTRACT In the modern era, industrialization has facilitated the human life but produced several severe pollutants as well that are hazardous in nature. Thus the degradation of these hazardous material has drawn considerable attention. This study deals with the synthesis of MoS2/Ag3PO4 heterojunction nanocomposite with 1–50% wt. using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal process as well as photocatalytic activity of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) degradation has been analysed. The compositional properties of nanocomposite catalysts have been studied through X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as well as structural and morphological studies were conducted through scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmet–Teller, photoluminescence, N2 physical adsorption, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. This provides an excellent and efficient mechanism for the remediation of residual organic contaminants under visible light that could be used to decontaminate the atmosphere.
