Structural and enhanced photoelectrochemical cell properties of α-hematite -molybdenum disulfide and polyhexylthiophene nanodiamond based nanocomposite prepared by sol-gel method
The α-Fe2O3-MoS2 nanocomposite materials were synthesized using sol-gel technique and investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FTIR, X-ray diffraction, UV–vis and Raman analyses. In this study, we used the conducting polymer electrode named polyhexylthiophene (RRPHTh) with nanodiamo...
