Heterojunction material BiYO3/g-C3N4 modified with cellulose nanofibers for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline

Preparing Ti3C2-modified ZnFe2O4 photocatalytic materials and evaluating their performance in degrading tetracycline in water

“…Among them, broad-spectrum, highly effective tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) has received considerable attention; however, despite its positive effects, its resistance to degradation in the natural environment can cause considerable accumulation in aquatic settings, posing a serious threat to human health and ecosystems. 1–3 In recent years, technologies such as adsorption, flocculation and biochemical treatment have been used to treat TCH in the environment; however, their application has been limited by long cycle times, incomplete degradation, high costs and the tendency to cause secondary pollution of the aquatic environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient and environmentally friendly strategy for the removal of TCH compared to the existing pollutant treatment methods.…”

Zinc-Doped BiOBr Hollow Microspheres for Enhanced Visible Light Photocatalytic Degradation of Antibiotic Residues

“…Antibiotics have played a pivotal and revolutionary role in the history of human progress, with a profound impact on the fields of medicine, public health, and human longevity. , Nevertheless, the misuse and overreliance on antibiotics pose significant threats to both human health and the environment, contributing to the escalation of bacterial resistance and contamination of aquatic ecosystems upon entry into water bodies. − Therefore, removal of antibiotic residues in water is an important part of maintaining ecological balance and protecting human health. , Due to its multiple advantages such as high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and broad spectrum application, photocatalytic degradation stands out among the many technologies to remove antibiotics in water and has become the main tool of antibiotic degradation. − However, the limited spectral response range, low photoelectric conversion efficiency, and high electron–hole recombination rate of conventional semiconductor photocatalysts limit the development of photocatalytic degradation technology. Many methods, such as morphology control, surface modification, and heterogeneous structure design, have been used to mitigate these issues and improve the performance and sustainable application. − …”
