Synthesis of Photocatalyst Based on WO3 Applying for the Treatment of Tetracycline Antibiotics

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, WO3/g-C3N4 photocatalysts were fabricated by ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal method at different mole ratios of WO3/g-C3N4. Ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) results indicated that WO3/g-C3N4 photocatalyst with the WO3/g-C3N4 mole ratio of 1/1 (WC-1) showed visible light absorption ability and prevented electron-hole recombination rate better than WO3, g-C3N4 and other composites. The photocatalytic activities of synthesized photocatalysts were investigated by the photocatalytic oxidation of tetracycline (TC) antibiotics under visible light. The degradation efficiency of TC in aqueous environment by the WC-1 was 79.35% after 180 minutes. This value was higher than those of other materials. The improvement in photocatalytic property of the WO3/g-C3N4 was due to the efficient generation of electrons and holes.
