Construction of a hybrid MoS 2 @polythiophene heterojunction photocatalyst for enhanced degradation of pharmaceutical pollutants and dyes

Key Points

• The aim is to construct a hybrid photocatalyst to enhance the degradation of pharmaceutical pollutants and dyes.
• Synthesis of hybrid MoS2@PTh nanocomposites
• Examined photocatalytic degradation activity
• Tested degradation against tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, rhodamine B, and brilliant blue under visible-light irradiation
• Demonstrated significant photocatalytic activity under visible-light
• Efficient degradation observed for tetracycline and ciprofloxacin
• Notable reduction in dye concentrations, including rhodamine B and brilliant blue
