Abstract

Abstract A highly efficient, recyclable mesoporous catalyst has been prepared via hydrothermal and post-calcination methods. The prepared nanocomposite (MoS2/ZnS@NSC) was characterized via several analytical techniques and used as a photocatalyst for the degradation of dicofol pesticide under visible irradiation. The results reveal that the fabricated nanocomposite show excellent catalytic activity due to the formation of active photogenerated species such as ●OH, O2− and e− which was supported by scavenger traping as well as EPR experiments and show excellent reusability for the treatment of pesticide in aqueous solution.
