Insight into the rapid degradation of antibiotic rifampicin by W-doped O-bridged g-C3N4via the coupling effect of electron replenishment in the dark degradation stage and electrophilic attack in the photocatalytic stage: experiments and DFT simulation calculations

“…Recently, photocatalysis technology has gradually become an ideal method for treating antibiotic wastewater due to its strong oxidation performance, economic efficiency and easy operation. [11][12][13] Graphite carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has become a research hotspot for photocatalytic materials due to its suitable narrow band gap (2.7 eV), 11,14 simple preparation, 11,15 and easy regulation of optical, chemical and electrical characteristics. [16][17][18] However, the photocatalytic activity of pure g-C 3 N 4 is limited by its small specic surface area, narrow spectral response range and high recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.…”
