“…Furthermore, a significant increment in photocatalytic degradation towards MO and BPA was observed. Based on the identified reaction intermediates, by-products (using HPLC and LCMS) (Hao, 2020;Li et al, 2014;Jiang et al, 2015b;Yu et al, 2015a;Sajid et al, 2018;Fu et al, 2018;Siao et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2018;Lee and Wang, 2019)- (Hao, 2020;Li et al, 2014;Jiang et al, 2015b;Yu et al, 2015a;Sajid et al, 2018;Fu et al, 2018;Siao et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2018;Lee and Wang, 2019), and reactive species (using quenching studies) (Chen et al, 2018;Lee and Wang, 2019;Liu et al, 2020;Chou et al, 2021;Siao et al, 2019), the visible light photogenerated charge transfer mechanism between coupled oxyhalides and quercetin was inferred. Also, our DFT-based computational studies provided an insightful understanding and plausible mechanism for the improved photocatalytic activity in our samples.…”
