Hydrothermal Synthesis of Novel MoS2/BiVO4 Hetero-Nanoflowers with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity and a Mechanism Investigation
Abstract
The flower-like MoS 2 /BiVO 4 composite with heterojunction has been successfully fabricated by a two-step approach. A possible formation mechanism of this heterostructure was investigated. The calculated valence band offset (VBO) and conduction band offset (CBO) of MoS 2 /BiVO 4 heterojunction showed that the VBO and CBO of MoS 2 /BiVO 4 are 1.4 and 0.3 eV, respectively, implying the formation of well-defined staggered type II band alignment. The photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) was adopted to assess the photocatalytic ability of the pristine MoS 2 and BiVO 4 as well as MoS 2 /BiVO 4 composites. It exhibited that the MoS 2 /BiVO 4 composite structures performed much better than that of the pristine MoS 2 and BiVO 4, which was due to the staggered band alignment formed between the two structures. Besides, the corresponding mechanism of enhanced photocatalysis regarding the separation of the photogenerated electron–hole pairs for the heterojunction has also been investigated by the first-principles calculation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
