CuS nanoparticles decorated MoS2 sheets as an efficient nanozyme for selective detection and photocatalytic degradation of hydroquinone in water

Priyakshree Borthakur et al.

Summary: Researchers have successfully synthesized CuS nanoparticles decorated MoS2 sheets using a simple hydrothermal technique, which can be used as an efficient catalyst for the selective detection and removal of toxic phenolic compounds like hydroquinone (HQ). The nanozyme exhibited peroxidase-like activity similar to natural Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and significant photocatalytic activity, showing promise as a new HQ sensing material and an efficient photocatalyst under natural sunlight irradiation.

The visible light-driven highly efficient photocatalytic properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles synthesized by a hydrothermal method

Zhangchen Hou et al.

Summary: Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a narrow band gap, non-toxic, environmentally friendly semiconductor photocatalytic material. CZTS nanoparticles with a high crystallinity kesterite structure were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method. CZTS exhibited good photoelectrochemical performance as a p-type semiconductor with a band gap of 1.5 eV, and showed high photocatalytic activity for RhB degradation under visible light.
