Abstract: MoS2/WO3 composite photocatalyst was synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The morphology and structure of samples were respectively characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, Raman, BET and DRS. Compared with pure WO3 and flaky MoS2/WO3, the results show that spherical MoS2/WO3 photocatalysts possess higher photocatalytic efficiency for RhB. For the spherical MoS2/WO3 composite semiconductor, the effect of MoS2 loading content (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%) on the photocatalytic degradation of RhB was investigated. The results show that the catalytic effect is the best when the content of MoS2 is 2%. At the same time, the effect of pH (pH=1, 3, 7, 11) on the photocatalytic activity was studied. The results show that the degradation rate is the highest at pH=6. When the amount of catalyst is 1 g·L-1, the degradation rate of RhB reaches 96.6% after 30 min. The transient photocurrent of spherical MoS2/WO3 is 0.050 6 mA·cm-2, which is increased by a factor of 2.4 compared with that of WO3. After five cycles of stability test, the spherical MoS2/WO3 composite semiconductor catalyst can maintain a high degradation rate of 90%.
