Abstract: In this work, we developed a novel and superior two dimensional manganese tungstate nanosheets (MnW NSs) photocatalyst for the degradation of environmentally toxic antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine (CPZ) under visible light illumination. The MnW NSs were fabricated through the simple microwave assisted hydrothermal route without the addition of other solvents. The surface topology and crystalline nature of the material was investigated by using numerous spectroscopic techniques. Fascinatingly, the MnW NSs exhibited superior photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of antipsychotic pharmaceutical drug under visible light irradiation.
