Synthesis of MoS₂/Graphene Hybrid for Electrochemical Detection and Catalytic Reduction of 4-Nitrophenol

Abstract:

Large amounts of nitroaromatic compounds are discharged into the natural environment, leading to environmental pollution. The detection and removal of nitroaromatic compounds are therefore important environmental issues. In this study, the hybrid of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and graphene (GR) was synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. Sodium molybdate was selected as the precursors for MoS₂. While thiourea was used as reductant and sulfur sources at the same time. Samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman microscope. Compared to pure MoS₂, the obtained MoS₂/GR hybrid showed improved activity for electrochemical detection and chemical reduction of 4-nitrophenol. The activity enhancement should be due to the addition of GR, which could improve the conductivity as well as provide more active sites. The MoS₂/GR hybrid could therefore provide new multi-function catalyst for environment protection.
