Abstract:In recent decades, antibiotics have been found in aquatic
environments,
raising severe concerns. In this study, a unique reduced graphene
oxide-zinc sulfide-copper sulfide (rGO-ZnS-CuS) nanocomposite (NC)
prepared by using a straightforward surfactant-free
in situ
microwave method was used for antibiotic degradation via photocatalysis.
The structural and morphological characteristics of the produced catalysts
were characterized using various techniques, confirming the successful
