Synthesis of highly sensitive nanomaterial for ultra-fast photocatalytic activity: A detailed study on photocatalytic capabilities of rod-shaped TiS3 nanostructures

Two-dimensional TiS3-nanostructures have been used to successfully remove toxic-industrial pollutants such as methyl-orange(MO) and methyl-blue(MB) from water bodies. Two-dimensional TiS3-nanostructures with exceptional mobility properties have been produced using the chemical vapor transport(CVT) technique and its photocatalytic capabilities are examined for potential environmental applications. Under infrared(IR) irradiation, the produced TiS3-nanoribbons were evaluated for their ability to degrade MO and MB solutions. TiS3-nanoribbons reveal significant high disintegration percentage; it is capable to decompose 90.3% of 50 mu M MO pollutant solution in 5 min. Moreover it decomposes 94.4% of 50 mu M MO solution as well as 10 mu M MB solution in 20 min and 12 min, respectively.

Automated summary

Two-dimensional TiS3 nanostructures have been successfully employed for the removal of toxic-industrial pollutants in water bodies. The nanostructures, produced using the CVT technique, exhibit exceptional photocatalytic properties for potential environmental applications. Under IR irradiation, the TiS3 nanoribbons demonstrate high disintegration percentage, effectively decomposing methyl-orange and methyl-blue solutions.
