摘要: CoS2, CoS2-C60/TiO2, CoS2-CNT/TiO2, and CoS2-Graphene/TiO2 were prepared. The TiO2 products had the anatase phase structure and interesting surface compositions. X-ray diffraction patterns of the CoS2-carbon/TiO2 composites showed a single and clear anatase phase and the CoS2 structure. Scanning electron microscopy characterization of the texture on the CoS2-carbon/TiO2 composites showed a homogenous composition. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectra for elemental identification showed the presence of C and Ti with strong Co and S peaks from the CoS2-carbon/TiO2 composites. The composites obtained were also characterized by transmission electron microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy. CoS2-carbon/TiO2 composites showed excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation. This was attributed to both photocatalysis on the TiO2 support and charge transfer by the carbon nanomaterial, and the introduction of CoS2 to enhance transfer of photogenerated electrons.
