Anchoring black phosphorus quantum dots on molybdenum disulfide nanosheets: a 0D/2D nanohybrid with enhanced visible−and NIR −light photoactivity

•Create a 0D/2D nanohybrid by anchoring BPQDs onto MoS2 nanosheets via a facile grinding and sonication approach.•Evaluate BPQDs/MoS2 nanohybrids towards MO degradation under visible− and NIR−light illumination, respectively.•Achieve the greatest photoactivity by 10 wt% BPQDs/MoS2 with cyclability.•Reveal the synergy enhancing the photoactivity and photostability of 10 wt% BPQDs/MoS2 nanohybrids.•Pave the way to fabricate viable BP-based heterostructures for solar energy- conversion and storage.
