High efficient degradation of dye molecules by PDMS embedded abundant single-layer tungsten disulfide and their antibacterial performance

This is the first-ever demonstration in the polydimethylsiloxane embedded with the abundant single-layer tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanoflowers (PDMS/WS2 NFs) for the degradation of organic dye in dark environment. The degradation ratio of the PDMS/WS2 NFs brick reach ~ 99% and achieved ten cycling test where each cycle took 90 min for the decomposition of the dye molecules.283
