Novel brown TiO2-x/Bi4O5I2/carbon dots (B-TiO2-x/Bi4O5I2/CDs) photocatalysts were successfully prepared for the degradation of antibiotics. The optimized nanocomposite showed impressive activity in the photodegradation of cephalexin, metronidazole, and tetracycline, with significantly higher efficiency compared to TiO2 and B-TiO2-x. The nanocomposite also displayed considerable stability after multiple cycles.
Fully aware of the global water pollution caused by more consumption of antibiotics, we successfully prepared novel brown TiO2-x/Bi4O5I2/carbon dots (B-TiO2-x/Bi4O5I2/CDs) photocatalysts through a facile strategy. The as-prepared samples were specified via XRD, FESEM, UV-vis DRS, XPS, EDS, TEM, HRTEM, FTIR, BET, BJH, EIS, photocurrent, and PL analyses. The ternary photocatalysts were utilized for the degradation of several antibiotics, including cephalexin (CEX), metronidazole (MNZ), and tetracycline (TC), under visible-light exposure provided by a 50 W LED. The B-TiO2-x/Bi4O5I2/CDs (1 mL) nanocomposite presented im-pressive activity in the photodegradation of CEX, MNZ, and TC antibiotics, which was 14.4, 39.8, and 49.7-folds of TiO2, and 4.71, 11.1, and 12.3 times as high as B-TiO2-x, respectively. The enhanced photo-de-gradation proficiency of optimal nanocomposite was assigned to the higher visible-light absorbance, re-duced recombination of photo-induced carriers, and higher redox capability owing to the construction of S-scheme heterojunction amongst the components. In particular, center dot O2- and h+ showed a major role in the degradation of TC antibiotic. Moreover, the TC degradation mechanism was studied using LC-MS analysis. Finally, the optimized B-TiO2-x/Bi4O5I2/CDs (1 mL) nanocomposite displayed significant stability after four cycles, and it was displayed that the resultant solution after the degradation process has considerable biocompatibility through the growth of wheat seeds.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.
