AI Article Synopsis
- Metallic 1T-phase MoS is a promising catalyst due to its increased active sites and higher carrier mobility compared to the semiconducting 2H-MoS.
- Researchers synthesized 1T/2H-MoS(N) using molybdenum trioxide nanowires and tested its effectiveness in breaking down antibiotic residues in water.
- The 1T/2H-MoS(N) demonstrated superior photocatalytic performance, being 2.8 times more effective than 1T/2H-MoS(P) and 1.3 times better than 2H-MoS, with a proposed mechanism explaining the degradation process.
Article Abstract
Metallic 1T-phase MoS is a newly emerging and attractive catalyst since it has more available active sites and high carrier mobility in comparison with its widely used counterpart of semiconducting 2H-MoS. Herein, 1T/2H-MoS(N) (N: MoO nanowires were used to prepare 1T/2H-MoS) was synthesized by using molybdenum trioxide (MoO) nanowires as the starting material and applied in the photodegradation of antibiotic residue in water. Enhanced photocatalytic performance was observed on the obtained 1T/2H-MoS(N), which was 2.8 and 1.3 times higher than those on 1T/2H-MoS(P) (P: commercial MoO powder was used to prepare 1T/2H-MoS) and 2H-MoS, respectively. The active component responsible for the photodegradation was detected and a reaction mechanism is proposed.
