Fabrication of novel polyaniline/ZnO heterojunction for exceptional photocatalytic hydrogen production and degradation of fluorescein dye through direct Z-scheme mechanism

Mohamed S. Hamdy et al.

Summary: Direct Z-scheme heterojunctions have shown exceptional reactivity in recent years in various photocatalytic processes. A hybrid polyaniline/ZnO heterojunction was synthesized for removal of fluorescein dye and production of hydrogen gas under visible light source. The key factor in optimizing hydrogen gas production and photocatalytic degradation is the amount of polyaniline. The results suggest that polyaniline enhances light absorption and provides additional electrons for the production of H2 gas.

Xinfei Zhang et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the removal of antibiotics from water using S-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic materials. By constructing a Bi2O3/P-C3N4 composite, the degradation of levofloxacin (LVFX) was significantly improved under simulated sunlight, with a removal rate of 89.2% within 75 minutes. The mechanism involves spatially separating electrons and holes, with holes and superoxide free radicals identified as the main active substances in the degradation process. Additionally, the study provides insights into the degradation pathway of LVFX and supports the application of photocatalytic materials for antibiotic removal in real water environments.
