Abstract

AbstractIn this study, a ternary heterojunction which consists of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), zinc sulfide (ZnS), and tetrapod‐like zinc oxide (ZnO‐T) nanostructures is prepared through a facile hydrothermal method. Benefiting from the generation of 1T phase MoS2 and ZnS with high photoelectrochemical properties, the material exhibits outstanding charge separation and transfer performances while degrading methylene blue. According to the results of the photodegradation experiment, the MoS2/ZnS/ZnO‐T composite displays not only excellent photocatalytic reduction activity but also remarkable adsorption performance. The photocatalytic activity is improved twice higher, and the first‐order rate constant is 4.22 times than pure ZnO‐T. Moreover, the good recyclability after 3 continuous cycles implies excellent stability for practical applications. This study develops a high‐efficient photocatalyst for contaminated water treatment.
