Porous boron nitride microrods (p-BNMRs) and activated TiO2 nanotablets with exposing {001} facets are combined to form p-BNMR/TiO2 hybrid materials via solvothermal method. The activated TiO2 nanotablets have a length of 150-200 nm and a thickness of about 20 nm. Additionally, the exposing ratios of the {001} facets and the morphologies of TiO2 supported on the p-BNMRs surfaces can be adjusted by the volume of H2O2. The photocatalytic property of p-BNMR/TiO2 hybrid materials for degrading antibiotics is improved compared with that of pure TiO2 due to the composite of activated TiO2 to p-BNMRs, which possess the capacity to absorb antibiotic molecules and transfer the photogenerated charge carriers. 99.8% of ofloxacin in aqueous solution is removed after 100 min of UV irradiation. After four successive cycles, the removal percentage of ofloxacin remained up to 92%.
