Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds and antibiotics in water by solar energy represents a promising approach for addressing environmental problems. The precious metal particles of platinum were connected through a facile ultraviolet light deposition technique based on Bi4Ti3O12 that was in situ hybridized with Ti3C2Tx. The potential development process was elucidated by investigating the breakdown of TC-HCl. The prepared Pt/Bi4Ti3O12/Ti3C2Tx material achieved complete removal of pollutants under light conditions, including tetracycline hydrochloride (10min), rhodamine B (30min), and methyl orange (10min), which benefited from the mutual enhancement between Ti3C2Tx and Bi4Ti3O12. Additionally, the increased specific surface area of Pt/Bi4Ti3O12/Ti3C2Tx may provide additional pathways for electron insertion/extraction. The platinum (Pt) rapidly absorbs photogenerated electrons, which facilitates photoinduced charge transfer and effectively suppresses carrier recombination. These collective effects significantly enhance catalytic activity and reduce photo-corrosion. This study paves the way for the development of photocatalytic materials based on Bi4Ti3O12/Ti3C2Tx, incorporating metal loads to enhance sunlight absorption capacity and antibiotic degradation capability.
