This study focuses on elucidating the structure and catalytic properties of polymer-MoS₃ assemblies with various polymers. The polymer-MoS₃ particles are synthesized by a bottom-up approach using different non-covalent forces, in particular electrostatic interactions and coordination. The structure and size, depending on the composition of the polymer-MoS₃ assemblies, is analyzed by light scattering, spectroscopy and microscopy. The catalytically active assemblies enable a selective degradation of dyes with low HOMO orbitals and the choice of the polymer directs the selectivity with regard to the chemical charge of the probe molecule. The degradation, which also takes place in darkness, can be substantially enhanced with light. Based on variation of the hole scavenger and the amount of catalyst, the mechanism of the catalysis has been determined. This allows an increase in the reaction rate and the reuse of the catalyst for at least ten reaction cycles, which may be exploited for solar-to-chemical energy conversion or wastewater treatment.

本研究的重点是阐明具有各种聚合物的聚合物-MoS ₃组件的结构和催化性能。聚合物-MoS ₃颗粒是使用不同的非共价力，特别是静电相互作用和配位，通过自下而上的方法合成的。结构和尺寸，取决于聚合物-MoS _3的组成组件，通过光散射、光谱学和显微镜分析。催化活性组件能够选择性地降解具有低 HOMO 轨道的染料，并且聚合物的选择指导关于探针分子的化学电荷的选择性。这种降解也发生在黑暗中，可以在光照下大大增强。根据空穴清除剂和催化剂用量的变化，确定了催化机理。这允许提高反应速率和催化剂的再利用至少十个反应循环，这可用于太阳能到化学能的转化或废水处理。
