Abstract
In this research, the combination of the photocatalytic activity of the semiconductor Ag3PO4 and the as-synthesized MIL-101(Fe)@nanocellulose (NC) from agricultural and bottle waste sources exhibited great photocatalytic efficiency. The Ag3PO4@MIL-101(Fe)@nanocelllulose (NC) composite has overcome the disadvantages of pure Ag3PO4 and significantly improved the photocatalytic activity. Structural characteristics, morphology of the materials were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDX), and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS) methods. From the obtained results, composite has a narrow bandgap energy (2.45 eV) and excellent catalytic performance in the photodegradation of Tetracycline pollutants (99.7 % after 120 min). It demonstrates the development of new catalysts made from agricultural waste sources that show high stability, ease of fabrication and can operate in natural light for environmental remediation.
