High-rate recombination of photogenerated electron and hole pairs will lead to low photocatalytic activity. Constructing heterostructure is a way to address this problem and thus increase the photoelectrochemical performance of the photocatalysts. In this article, molybdenum sulfide (MoS2)/cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocomposites were fabricated by a facile solvothermal method after sonication. The CdS nanoparticles immobilized on the MoS2 sheet retained the original crystal structure and morphology. The composites exhibit higher photoelectrochemical properties compared with pure MoS2 nanosheets or CdS powder. When the precursor concentration of CdS is 0.015 M, the MoS2/CdS composites yield the highest photocurrent, which is enhanced nearly five times compared with pure CdS or MoS2. The improved photoelectrochemical performance can be ascribed to the increase of light harvest, as well as to the heterostructure that decreases the recombination rate of the photogenerated electron and hole pairs.

A photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for the determination of organophosphate pesticides (OPs) was developed based on rGO/TiO2/CdS photoactive nanomaterials. The rGO/TiO2/CdS nanocomposites were prepared by solvothermal method and electrochemical deposition technique successively. The morphologies and structures of the as-prepared nanocomposites were extensively investigated by SEM and XRD. In alkaline condition, p-nitrophenol as the hydrolysate of parathion-methyl (PM) could be obtained by a simple hydrolyzation process. Under optimal conditions, the rGO/TiO2/CdS NPs modified ITO electrode exhibited a good PEC performance toward the hydrolysate of PM. The photocurrent intensity was enhanced with the increase of the concentration of the hydrolysate of PM. The proposed PEC method could detect PM in the range from 0.05[Formula: see text]nmol L[Formula: see text] to 10[Formula: see text]nmol L[Formula: see text] with a detection limit of 0.02[Formula: see text]nmol L[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]). Thus, the excellent performance of the rGO/TiO2/CdS nanocomposites serve as the matrix of the sensor, which provides a new way for the fabrication of high-sensitivity PEC sensing system.
