Synthesis of magnetic NiFe2O4/CuS activator for degradation of lomefloxacin via the activation of peroxymonosulfate under simulated sunlight illumination

Nanosheets loaded on tetrahedral surfaces form a Z-type Bi2MoO6/γ-Bi2O3 heterojunction to enhance the photocatalytic degradation activity of lomefloxacin and Rhodamine B

“…1,2 Due to their extensive utilization, these two contaminants have been detected in various natural waters. 3,4 The problem of water pollution from these two chemicals has threatened human life and the survival of aquatic organisms. 5 Technologies such as physical adsorption, 6 ozone treatment, 7 bioprocess degradation, 8 membrane filtration, 9 electrolysis, and photocatalysis 10 have been developed to remove the hazardous pollutants.…”

S-Doped rGO-Enwrapped Magnetically Porous NiFe2O4/CuS Heterojunction: An Efficient Z-Scheme Nano-Photocatalyst for Visible-Light-Driven Tetracycline Degradation and 4-Nitrophenol Reduction

“…Therefore, the heterojunctions created at the CuS/other photocatalyst interface can efficiently lower the rate of charge carrier recombination. Very recently, Zhang and co-workers fabricated a magnetic NiFe 2 O 4 /CuS composite using a solvothermal method combined with the coprecipitation method and assessed its catalytic activity by degrading lomefloxacin . They proposed that the plausible mechanism of the NiFe 2 O 4 /CuS composite was best fitted in the type II heterojunction.…”

It is well known that the Z-scheme mechanism is more efficient than the type II mechanism because of its efficient charge separation and extended lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers.…”

Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of levofloxacin over heterostructured C3N4/Nb2O5 system under visible light

“…Among the AOPs, photocatalysis has attracted much attention due to its sustainable nature and environment friendly operation [ [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] ]. It employs metal oxide semiconductors and light to generate active species such as electron holes and radicals at the surface of the photocatalyst to drive chemical reactions.…”
