An innovative BiOI@AgBiS2@NaYF4:Yb, Tm ternary heterostructure for efficient solar energy harvesting towards tetracycline hydrochloride degradation

Abstract

This study developed a BiOI@AgBiS₂@NaYF₄:Yb,Tm heterostructure photocatalyst. This design significantly enhances the generation and separation of charge carriers, leading to a marked improvement in solar energy harvesting. This advancement was effectively applied for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride. This strategy provides inspiration for designing and developing full-spectrum responsive photocatalysts.
