Facile Strategies to Fabricate MoS2/Bi2O3 Nanocomposites; A Nano Engineered Material for Photoassisted Degradation of Ciprofloxacin and Their Antibacterial Performance
摘要
This article presents an insights study of synthesis, characterization and multifunctional applications of Bi2O3/MoS2, ultimately seeking their synergistic approach for photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin antibiotic and antimicrobial efficacy. Pure Bi2O3 and MoS2 were synthesized by simple co-precipitation and green synthesis strategy respectively; however, a facile hydrothermal method was employed for synthesis of Bi2O3/MoS2, followed by analytical tools to elucidate the optical, structural, morphological and electronic properties. Through experimental approach, this study unveils interplay of synergistic approach of junction of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3). The outcome showcased an efficient enhancement in degradation of ciprofloxacin, attributed to Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). The binary composites Bi2O3/MoS2 demonstrates the facilitating charge carriers and heterojunction interface resulted in broad-spectrum efficacy. Furthermore, the potent behavior of nanostructures against the pathogenic microorganism evaluated the strong antimicrobial agent for gram positive and gram negative bacteria. This approach highlights the underscore of composites for harnessing synergistic strategy of nanostructures junction.
