Abstract MoS2 is a promising photo-catalyst for the degradation of organic pollution due to its large surface area, low cost, easy preparation, and earth abundance. However, their limited quantity of active sites, high recombination of photo-generated charge, and poor conductivity has hampered the efficiency of photo-degradation. In this work, P heteroatoms were doped into the plane of ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets via a facile hydrothermal method, which introduce the new active sites in the inert basal plane of MoS2, improve the separation efficiency of photo-generated charges and help improve the intrinsic electronic conductivity, leading to a significantly improved activity for photo-degradation of RhB.
