Sunlight-activated heterostructure MoS/CdS nanocomposite photocatalyst with enhanced photocatalytic activity: band alignment and mechanism study.

A high recombination rate is a major limiting factor in photocatalysis. Mitigating recombination through material engineering and photocatalyst optimization is key to enhancing photocatalytic performance. In this study, a heterostructure MoS/CdS nanocomposite was synthesized through a hydrothermal method in a Teflon-lined autoclave subjected to a temperature of 200 °C for 16 hours.
