A novel functional polyacrylonitrile(PAN) fabric coated pineapple‐like CuS@Ni 3 S 4 heterojunctions were successfully fabricated via a simple chemical bath deposition and solvothermal pathway. Through field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD), the obtained CuS@Ni 3 S 4 composites were characterized. The as‐prepared CuS@Ni 3 S 4 were composed of numerous ultrthin nanosheets interconnect with each other to form pineapple‐like structure. According to the photocatalytic measurements, it was observed that the obtained PAN@CuS@Ni 3 S 4 composites exhibit significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) compared to the primary PAN@CuS under UV light illumination. Moreover, CuS@Ni 3 S 4 supported on the flexible PAN fabric exhibits good reusability, indicating that this sort of materials have a high potential application in the photodegradation of dyes in wastewater treatment.
