The samples were annealed at 500°C and 700°C and characterised by ICP-AES, XRD, Raman, FT-IR, TG,\u0000XPS and DR-UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results suggest that the MoS2\u0000 added during synthesis is a satisfactory source\u0000of Mo to produce doping of the TiO2\u0000 structure. In addition, the transformation of anatase phase to rutile is delayed\u0000when the concentration of Mo incorporated into the structure increases. Finally, the effectiveness of the synthesized\u0000MoS2\u0000/TiO2\u0000samplesused as photocatalyst for the photodegradation of methylene blue dye under visible light irradiation\u0000was investigated. TiO2\u0000 doped with MoS2\u0000 was shown to improve the degradation of methylene blue under visible light.\u0000There was found to be an optimal temperature and level of doping to achieve improved photocatalytic activity, in our\u0000case 10.0% MoS2\u0000/TiO2\u0000 at 700°C.","PeriodicalId":91888,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nanotechnology and nanomedicine","volume":"110 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89288485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
