Abstract

Constructing the stable, low-cost, efficient, and highly adaptable visible light-driven photocatalyst to implement the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and adsorption has been excavated a promising strategy to deal with antibiotic pollution in water bodies. Herein, a novel 3D ternary Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst Ni 2 P/Bi 2 MoO 6 /g-C 3 N 4 (Ni 2 P/BMO/CN) was fabricated by a simple solvothermal method in which the broad spectrum antibiotics (mainly tetracyclines and supplemented by quinolones) were used as target pollution sources to evaluate its adsorption and photocatalytic performance. Notably, the Z-scheme composite significantly exhibit the enhancement for degradation efficiency of tetracycline and other antibiotic by using Ni 2 P nanoparticles as electron conductor. Active species capture experiment and electron spin resonance (ESR) technology reveal the mechanism of Z-scheme Ni 2 P/BMO/CN photocatalytic reaction in detail. In addition, based on the identification of intermediates by liquid chromatography–mass spectroscopy (LC–MS), the possible photocatalytic degradation pathways of TC were proposed.
