Abstract
Rational design of efficient visible-light-responsive photocatalysts is pivotal for antibiotic degradation in aquatic environments. In this work, calcium-doped BiOBr (BOB) nanocomposites with controlled doping ratios were synthesized via a hydrothermal-calcination method and evaluated for ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation under visible light. Experimental results demonstrate that the BiOBr/Ca-3 (BOB/Ca-3) sample exhibits a 1.64 times enhancement in CIP degradation efficiency compared to pristine BOB. Characterization data revealed that Ca doping optimizes the electronic and structural properties of BOB. Radical trapping experiments confirmed that •O2− and h+ serve as the dominant reactive species. Cycling tests demonstrated the structural stability and recyclability of BOB/Ca-3. This study demonstrates that Ca-doped BOB modification proves to be an effective strategy for developing high-performance photocatalysts toward antibiotic-contaminated wastewater remediation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids is a well-established international medium for publication of archival research in condensed matter and materials sciences. Areas of interest broadly include experimental and theoretical research on electronic, magnetic, spectroscopic and structural properties as well as the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of materials. The focus is on gaining physical and chemical insight into the properties and potential applications of condensed matter systems.
Within the broad scope of the journal, beyond regular contributions, the editors have identified submissions in the following areas of physics and chemistry of solids to be of special current interest to the journal:
Low-dimensional systems
Exotic states of quantum electron matter including topological phases
Energy conversion and storage
Interfaces, nanoparticles and catalysts.
