The as-fabricated nanocomposites were employed for photodegradation of Methylene Blue (MB) under UV light irradiation. The morphological, struc-tural, and chemical properties of the fabricated photocatalysts were characterized using XRD, TEM, SEM, UV -DRS, XPS, FTIR, TGA, DSC, and PL. Comparative experimental studies displayed that MoO3/TiO2/rGO nano -composites fabricated with 5% rGO showed the highest photocatalytic degradation (95%) of MB under UV irradiation. This superior photocatalytic performance could be ascribed to the narrow bandgap of the fabricated nanocomposites as well as the synergistic effect of the three components.en10.1016/j.optlastec.2023.110156info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPulsed laser ablationMoO 3 /TiO 2 /rGO nanocompositePhotodegradationNanomaterialsMethylene bluePhotoinduced Charge-TransferMethylene-BlueNanoparticlesPerformanceCatalysisGreenTio2Article1702-s2.0-85174537144WOS:001097816300001Q1Q1
