The present work presents a novel copper hydroxide-molybdenum diselenide-carbon nitride (3 % Cu(OH)2/MoSe2-g-C3N4, (3CM-CN)) ternary nanocomposite catalyst. This catalyst was synthesized using a three-step process: hydrothermal synthesis, ball milling, and wet impregnation. The focus of this researc...
