A new visible-light active exfoliated g-C3N4/gamma-Fe2O3/ZnO yolk-shell nanoparticles photocatalyst was synthesized, which showed 80% and 95.6% degradation efficiency for Levofloxacin and Indigo Carmine, respectively, within 25 and 15 minutes. The catalyst exhibited excellent magnetic photocatalytic performance even after 5 times regeneration, with degradation efficiencies of 76% and 90% for Levofloxacin and Indigo Carmine, respectively. The superior performance was attributed to stronger visible light response, larger specific surface area, and more effective separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers.
Herein, a new visible-light active exfoliated g-C3N4/gamma-Fe2O3/ZnO yolk-shell nanoparticles (NPs) was synthesized as a magnetically separable photocatalyst. For an in-depth understanding of the magnetic photocatalyst's structural, morphological, and optical properties, the products were extensively characterized with FT-IR, XRD, TEM, HRTEM, FESEM, EDS, EDSmapping, VSM, DRS, EIS, and photocurrent. The photocatalyst was then utilized to degrade Levofloxacin (LEVO) and Indigo Carmine (IC) by visible light at room temperature. The exfoliated g-C3N4/gamma-Fe2O3/ZnO yolk-shell NPs photocatalyst revealed 80% and 95.6% degradation efficiency for Levofloxacin and Indigo Carmine within 25 and 15 min, respectively. In addition, the optimal factors such as concentration, loading of photocatalyst, and pH were also assessed. Levofloxacin degradation mechanistic studies showed that electrons and holes significantly contribute to the photocatalytic process of photocatalyst degradation. In addition, after 5 times regeneration, exfoliated g-C3N4/gamma-Fe2O3/ZnO yolk-shell NPs remained as an excellent magnetic photocatalyst for the eco-friendly degradation of Levofloxacin and Indigo Carmine (76% and 90%), respectively. The superior photocatalytic performance of exfoliated g-C3N4/gamma-Fe2O3/ZnO yolk-shell nanoparticles (NPs) was mostly ascribed to the synergistic advantages of stronger visible light response, larger specific surface area, and the more effective separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers. Based on these results, the highly effective magnetic photocatalyst achieved better results than numerous studied catalysts in the literature.
