Abstract

Purification of antibiotic wastewater has been recognized as one of the most important issues in the environmental community, for which, developing the metal-free photocatalyst system is an environment-friendly and economic-feasible way. Herein, we designed the metal-free C₃N_x/PANI photocatalyst wrapped around the graphene sponge (CPG) for coupled antibiotic wastewater adsorption and purification. The properties of CPG and their relation with purification performance were investigated using various characterization techniques and photocatalysis evaluation. As a result, we found that the advanced porous structure of graphene sponge can favor wastewater adsorption and photon utilization efficiency due to the crosslink channels with a higher crosslinking density. Meanwhile, the layered structure of CN_x effectively facilitates the transfer of charge carriers while the PANI exhibits high-capacity visible light adsorption. Consequently, after optimization, CPG8 exhibited better photocatalytic activity with a sulfamethazine degradability of 10 mg/L within 40 min. The novel approach and new insights obtained in this work give important guidance for designing advanced photocatalytic systems used in wastewater purification.
