The efficient degradation of a toxic antibiotic from an aqueous solution is essential for environmental protection. Our research aimed to fabricate a bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) catalyst via a facile hydrothermal method. The prepared catalyst exhibited a monoclinic phase with a band gap energy of 2.33 eV, indicating the excellent visible-light-active properties of a semiconductor. The photocatalytic performance of the synthesized BiVO4 catalyst was studied by determining the removal of tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline (OTC) antibiotics. After 240 min, under sunlight conditions, a high performance of 72% and 83% degradation of TC and OTC, respectively, was achieved. The photocatalytic degradation of the antibiotics correlates well with a first-order reaction, with a high rate constant of 0.0102 min−1. Photogenerated electrons and holes played an important role in the removal of the pollutant. After photocatalytic study, the structural stability of the prepared bismuth vanadate photocatalyst was confirmed. The photocatalyst provided a promising performance even after five successive runs. The result indicates the excellent cycling ability of the sample. The present work demonstrates a promising route for the preparation of a BiVO4 catalyst for the complete removal of toxic antibiotics in aqueous solutions.

In the present work, pure BiFeO 3 and pure Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 single phases were successfully synthesized by tailoring hydrothermal synthesis route. The structural and morphology analyses have been achieved by X-ray diffraction and by electron microscopy. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy images revealed a strong change in the morphology from agglomerated nanoparticles with sizes less than 10 nm for BiFeO 3 to plate-like particles with larger sizes (edges of 100 to 200 nm while a thickness of * 30 nm) for Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 . Such a small size obtained for BFO nanoparticles has never been observed before for similar synthesis method without any added reagents, to the best of our knowledge. The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared samples for degradation of methylene blue dye under sunlight irradiation shows a good efficiency. It reaches 61% and 83% after 3 h for BiFeO 3 and Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 nanostructures, respectively. Despite a bigger size and higher bandgap, the better efficiency of Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 compared to BiFeO 3 is explained by a much stronger absorption especially for light with energy higher than 2.65 eV.

Defects engineering is significant for photocatalytic environment remediation. To this end, visible‐light‐driven α‐Fe2O3/ZrO2‐x S‐scheme heterojunction photocatalysts with optimal oxygen vacancy (Ov) defects are successfully synthesized via a two‐step method. Compared with pristine UiO‐66‐NH2‐derived ZrO2‐x and α‐Fe2O3, the heterojunction photocatalysts exhibit a wider range of visible light response and higher efficiency in separating photogenerated electron–hole pairs. Among them, the 5% α‐Fe2O3/ZrO2‐x sample shows the best photocatalytic performance to the degradation of tetracycline (TC) (89.3%), in which the pseudo‐first‐order kinetic rate constants are 8.20 and 16.75 times that of pristine ZrO2‐x and α‐Fe2O3, respectively. The outstanding photocatalytic degradation efficiency can be attributed to both the narrow‐bandgap ZrO2‐x with visible light response and the formation of α‐Fe2O3/ZrO2‐x S‐scheme heterojunctions. During the formation of heterojunctions, the concentration of oxygen vacancies (Ov) at the interface of α‐Fe2O3/ZrO2‐xdecreases monotonically with the increasing loading of α‐Fe2O3, thereby altering the electronic structure of the photocatalyst and forming the heterojunction firmly. In addition, the high stability implies the potential applications in fields of environment.
