Construction of g-C3N4/BiOCl/CdS heterostructure photocatalyst for complete removal of oxytetracycline antibiotic in wastewater

Teeradech Senasu et al.

Summary: One vital topic in photocatalysis research is the development of novel nanomaterials for the degradation of toxic pollutants in water under visible light. In this study, a g-C3N4/BiOCl/CdS heterojunction was successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method for complete removal of oxytetracycline (OTC) antibiotic in wastewater. The ternary heterostructure effectively suppressed electron-hole recombination, resulting in enhanced photocatalytic activity. Full removal of OTC was achieved under natural sunlight irradiation, following a first-order reaction with a maximum rate constant of 0.023 min-1. The prepared photocatalyst exhibited structural stability and high performance even after multiple uses. Photogenerated holes played a critical role in the OTC removal, while electrons and hydroxyl radicals had a subordinate role. Charge transfer at the interface of the ternary heterojunction was proposed to be of Z-scheme type. This work demonstrates a promising strategy for the complete detoxification of harmful OTC antibiotic in the environment by creating an enhanced photoactive ternary heterojunction.
