New g-C3N4/GO/MoS2 composites as efficient photocatalyst for photocathodic protection of 304 stainless steel

Photocathodic protection is an economical and environmental metal anticorrosion method. In this research, we successfully synthesized the g-C3N4/GO (15 wt%)/MoS2 catalytic materials by a facile hydrothermal method. The results show that the as-prepared g-C3N4/GO (15 wt%)/MoS2 composites prominently...
