Abstract

Amorphous carbon nanotube – MoS2 nanohybrids were synthesized by simple hydrothermal method where two different precursor, thiourea and L-cysteine were used as a source of sulfur. Amorphous carbon nanotube has been prepared separately by a low temperature chemical process. Amorphous carbon nanotube-MoS2 nanohybrids were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, field emission scanning and high resolution transmission electron microscope, Raman spectrometer. Dye removal (from water) performance of two different as prepared nanohybrids was also experimented. Band gap which is an important parameter for determining the optoelectronic property of any material has also been calculated using tauc plot
