In this study, DyFeO3-MoS2 heterojunction nanocomposites were synthesized by integrating porous DyFeO3 nanoparticles (an n-type semiconductor) with MoS2 nanosheets (a p-type semiconductor). The resulting p-n substantially improved the photocatalytic efficiency for degrading methylene blue (MB) and levofloxacin (LFX). This design introduces a built-in electric field at interface, promoting efficient charge separation suppressing electron-hole recombination, thereby significantly enhancing performance under solar irradiation compared to alone. Characterization studies, including XRD, FESEM, TEM, XPS, UV-visible absorbance, photoluminescence, Mott-Schottky analysis, confirmed nanocomposites' crystalline structure, well-dispersed nanosheets, oxygen vacancies, enhanced visible light absorption, favorable band positions. incorporation of increased separation, surface area mitigating aggregation, leading higher degradation rates. Among tested compositions, (80 : 20) nanocomposite, containing 20 wt% MoS2, exhibited highest efficiencies, 96.5% MB 88.7% LFX. Further analyses, activation energy determination, quantum yield measurement, scavenger tests, reusability assessments, optimized nanocomposite's durability. reduced energies high yields (35.5% MB, 25.8% LFX) indicate photon conversion radical generation, superoxide radicals (˙O2-) identified as primary reactive species. Stability tests revealed over 85% retention activity after four cycles, underscoring composite's robustness. Moreover, mechanism key insights into pathways pollutants. investigation demonstrates viable solar-driven solution pollutant in wastewater treatment incorporating nanostructures.
