With the development of industry and the rapidly innovative technology progress, various pollution issues have thus occurred. For example, management of wastewater is obe on the critical issues. Therefore, waste water purification by semiconductor or semiconductor composite photocatalyst has been attracting much attention. In the study, we have investigated a novel catalyst for use as photocatalyst. The photocatalyst is a novel visible light response Au nanoparticle decorated rGO/MoS₂ material. The synthesis of such photocatalyst involves the use of a supercritical fluid carbon dioxide process. The processing conditions were studied to obtained desired characteristics of the photocatalyst. The obtained photocatalyst was for the degradation of MB.
