Abstract:Humic acid (HA) is the main precursor of carcinogenic compounds such as trichloromethane, which form during the disinfection of drinking water. Therefore, removing HA from water sources is crucial for producing safe drinking water. This study introduces a novel approach using dilute nitric acid as a nitrogen source to dope pristine Ti3AlC2 (TAC) to varying degrees, enhancing the material‘s photocatalytic degradation performance for HA. Characterisations through X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, sc… Show more
