【 摘 要 】

It has been reported in the literature that few-layered, vertically-aligned molybdenum disulfide (FLV-MoS2) can produce biocidal agents for water disinfection with great effectiveness under visible light excitation. The nano-structure, with limited layers and small domain size increases the band gap of the MoS2 in the visible region such that visible light can be used to drive the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for biocidal control. This paper will present the BioMoSS (biocidal MoS2) for space applications concept and present initial results of the investigation into turning the FLV-MoS2 into a viable biocidal system.
