Abstract

Nickel disulfide nanoparticles were prepared by nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate and sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate under microwave irradiation. The NiS2-graphene nanocomposites were calcined in an electric furnace at 700 °C under an argon atmosphere for 2 h. The crystallinity, morphology and optical properties of the NiS2-graphene nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The photocatalytic activity of the NiS2-graphene nanocomposites in the degradation of organic dyes, such as methylene blue, methyl orange, rhodamine B and brilliant green under ultraviolet light at 254 nm was confirmed by UV-visible spectrophotometry.
