PG - 58-66 LID - S0021-9797(16)30703-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jcis.2016.09.048 [doi] AB - A novel (CdS-Mn/MoS(2)/CdTe)-sensitized TiO(2) nanotube arrays (NTAs) photoelectrode has been prepared by electrodeposite, successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) coupled with hydrothermal method. When a ZnS layer was added on the top of CdS-Mn/MoS(2)/CdTe/TiO(2), a notable red-shift and high absorption was observed in the visible light region. The photocurrent density (mA/cm(2)) systematically increases from TiO(2) NTAs (0.43), CdTe/TiO(2) (1.09), MoS(2)/CdTe/TiO(2) (1.80), CdS-Mn/MoS(2)/CdTe/TiO(2) (2.40), to ZnS/CdS-Mn/MoS(2)/CdTe/TiO(2) (3.41) under visible light irradiation, due to the type-II semiconductor heterostructures comprising multiple components with a staggered band offset. Such a heterostructure possesses an enhanced photocatalytic performance towards degradation of organic contaminant, e.g. P-Nitrophenol (PNP) and Rhodamine B (RhB).
