Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of glyphosate over 2D CoS/BiOBr heterojunctions under visible light irradiation.

Two-dimensional (2D) heterojunction photocatalysts can shorten the carrier transfer pathway. In this study, CoS nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of 2D BiOBr nanosheets to fabricate novel ultrathin and intimate-contact 2D heterojunction photocatalysts by a two-step solvothermal route. Under visible-light (λ > 400 nm) irradiation, the apparent reaction rate constant of glyphosate degradation over 10%CoS/BiOBr reaches 0.
