文摘

We present a controllable synthesis of ternary hierarchical hollow sphere, assembling by numerous particle-like Cu₂MoS₄, via a facile hydrothermal method. By adding graphene oxides (GO) in the reaction process, Cu₂MoS₄/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) heterostructures were obtained with enhanced photocurrent and photocatalytic performance. As demonstrated by electron microscopy observations and X-ray characterizations, considerable interfacial contact was achieved between hierarchical Cu₂MoS₄ hollow sphere and RGO, which could facilitate the separation of photoinduced electrons and holes within the hybrid structure. In comparison with the pure Cu₂MoS₄ hollow sphere, the obtained hybrid structures exhibited significantly enhanced light absorption property and the ability of suppressing the photoinduced electron–holes recombination, which led to significant enhancement in both photocurrent and efficiency of photocatalytic methyl orange (MO) degradation under visible light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation.
