Sea urchin shaped ZnO coupled with MoS2 and polyaniline as highly efficient photocatalysts for organic pollutant decomposition and hydrogen evolution

In this work, an attempt has been made to fabricate multifunctional composite photocatalysts by coupling sea urchin shaped ZnO with MoS2 and polyaniline (PANI) sheets, and a significant improvement in photocatalytic activity was perceived with composites in comparison to pristine components. It was found that the ternary ZnO–MoS2-PANI photocatalyst showed excellent adsorptive decomposition of organic pollutants natural sunlight irradiation. In...
