“…As the presence of IPA affected the reaction most, we have assumed that ● OH plays a major role in this photocatalysis reaction. The dominant role of ● OH in the S-Scheme pathway has also been established by several researchers by performing radical trapping experiments using different radical scavengers. ,,,− …”

Water pollution engendered from textile dyes and antibiotics is a globally identified precarious concern that is causing dreadful risks to human health as well as aquatic lives. This predicament is escalating the quest to develop competent photocatalysts that can degrade these water pollutants under solar light irradiation. Herein, we report an efficient photocatalyst comprising a hierarchical structure by integrating the layered graphitic carbon nitride (gC 3 N 4 ) with nanoflakes of exfoliated BiFeO 3 . The coexistence of these two semiconducting nanomaterials leads to the formation of an S-scheme heterojunction. This nanocomposite demonstrated its excellent photocatalytic activity toward the degradation of several textile dyes (Yel CL2R, Levasol Yellow-CE, Levasol Red-GN, Navy Sol-R, Terq-CL5B) and various antibiotics (such as tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), ciprofloxacin (CPX), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and amoxicillin (AMX)) under the simulated solar light irradiation. As this photocatalyst exhibits its versatile activity toward the degradation of several commercial dyes as well as antibiotics, this work paves the path to develop a reasonable, eco-benign, and highly efficient photocatalyst that can be used in the practical approach to remediate environmental pollution.

“…The use of transition metal sulfides (such as CuS, 195 Bi 2 S 3 , 196 MnS, 197 FeS 2 , 198 and RuS 2 199 ) as cocatalysts has also been proven to enhance the performance of semiconductor photocatalytic H 2 evolution. In the current study, it has also been found that bimetallic sulfides have higher catalytic activity compared to monometallic sulfides.…”
