Abstract

Photodegradation

In article number 2301541, Vomiero, Moretti, Polo, and co-workers set up a new synthetic protocol to obtain nickel hexacyanoferrate (Ni-HCF) nanocubes as suitable photocatalysts toward organic contaminants in water. Ni-HCF nanocubes were tested to remove metronidazole (MDZ), a water contaminant antibiotic. Under simulated solar light, Ni-HCF display substantial photocatalytic activity, degrading 94.3% of MDZ in 6 hours. These achievements highlight the possibility to combine the performance of an earth-abundant catalysts with a renewable energy source for environmental remediation, thus meeting the requirements for a sustainable development.
