Separable Magnetic Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@MoS<sub>2</sub> Composite for Adsorption and Piezo-Catalytic Degradation of Dye
description Well-designed composite catalysts are of increasing concern due to their improved performance compared to individual components. Herein, we designed and synthesized an Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@MoS<sub>2</sub> composite via a simple hydrothermal method. As for the resultant composite, the MoS<sub>2</sub> nanolayers presented a novel piezo-catalytic effect, while the Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> core provided a magnetic separation property. The structure and properties of Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@MoS<sub>2</sub> were determined by relevant experiments. It was found that Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@MoS<sub>2</sub> exhibited enhanced piezo-catalytic degradation of rhodamine B and good magnetic recovery/recycling features. The <i>k</i><sub>obs</sub> for rhodamine B degradation over Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@MoS<sub>2</sub> was 0.019 min<sup>−1</sup>—a little longer than that over MoS<sub>2</sub> (0.013 min<sup>−1</sup>). Moreover, Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@MoS<sub>2</sub> also showed a favorable ability to adsorb rhodamine B in solution, with a saturation adsorption of 26.8 mg/g.
