A stable MoS nanosheets@TiO NTAs composite was prepared via a simple hydrothermal process. Few-layer MoS nanosheets distributed on the TiO nanotube top surface and the inner walls rather than filling in the tubes, allowing abundant tubular channels open to environment and benefiting for efficient mass transport. Photocatalytic (PE) and photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) performance of the composite were evaluated on Cr reduction, with variable low molecule weight organic acids (LOAs) added as sacrificial electron donor to form a charge-transfer-complex (CTC) between LOAs and TiO/MoS, which is sensitive to the visible light illumination and could induce the photo-reduction of Cr and photo-oxidation of LOAs.
