Balanced generation of holes and superoxide radicals on Bi₂₅CoO₄₀ sillenite photocatalysts for rapid synergetic degradation of quinolone antibiotics

Abstract

Herein, Bi25CoO40 sillenite nanosheets with a thickness of approximately 1.4 nm were successfully prepared. These nanosheets exhibit broad solar spectrum absorption beyond 900 nm and excellent photodegradation activity of ciprofloxacin....
