Tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ) as one of transition metal dichalcogenides exhibits excellent catalytic activity. However, its catalytic performances in aqueous phase reactions are limited by its hydrophobicity. Here, the natural hydrophilic two-dimensional clay was used to enhance the dispersibility of WS 2  in aqueous phase. WS 2 /montmorillonite (WS 2 /MMT) composite nanosheets were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis of WS 2  on the surface of montmorillonite from WCl 6  and CH 3 CSNH 2 . The microstructure and morphology show that WS 2  nanosheets are assembled parallelly on the montmorillonite with the interface interaction. Through the support of montmorillonite, WS 2 /MMT possesses higher photocatalytic ability for aqueous phase reactions than WS 2 , which could be due to the synergistic effect of higher adsorption property, higher hydrophilicity, dispersibility and more catalytic reaction site. The strategy could provide new ideas for obtaining novel hydrophilic photocatalyst with excellent performance.
