Xixi Yao et al.

Summary: Cadmium sulfide improved with dimanganese copper oxide (Mn2CuO4/CdO) was used in the degradation of cephalexin via advanced oxidative processes. The Z-scheme Mn2CuO4/CdO nanocomposites demonstrated better photoelectrocatalytic response compared to bare CdO. Hydroxyl radical and holes were found to play a major role in antibiotic degradation. The Mn2CuO4/CdO probe was also used as an antibacterial agent and for the determination of vitamin B1.
