Short Abstract: Aquatic contamination by emerging pollutants poses severe enviro nmental threats\, demanding innovative remediation strategies. This PhD th esis investigates Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs)\, specifically m ixed-phase engineered MoS2 and WS2 nanostructures\, for sustainable wastew ater treatment via Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs).

Utilizing solvothermal synthesis\, phase engineering successfully yielded nanostruct ures featuring tunable photoelectronic\, piezoelectric\, and ferromagnetic properties. Notably\, solvothermal MoS2 exhibited unique magnetoelectric coupling driven by lattice distortion. To enhance interfacial charge trans fer\, these TMDs were integrated into silicon p-n and n-p photodiodes\, ma ximizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under visible light and magnetic stimuli.
While silicon integration enhanced overall catalytic degradation of recalcitrant pollutants\, transfer efficiency constraints r evealed areas for further interface refinement. Ultimately\, this work est ablishes a rigorous framework linking crystal structure to catalytic perfo rmance\, demonstrating that multi-stimulus TMD activation offers a viable\ , efficient approach for organic pollutant mineralization directly aligned with the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
