Architecture of visible-light induced Z-scheme MoS/g-CN/ZnO ternary photocatalysts for malachite green dye degradation.

The synthesis of bilayer heterojunctions has received considerable attention recently. Fabrication of novel bilayer composites is of significant interest to improve their photocatalytic efficiency. In this study, molybdenum disulfide (MoS), a layered dichalcogenide material exhibiting unique properties, in combination with graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN), a carbon-based layered material, was fabricated with small amounts of zinc oxide (ZnO).
