Abstract
Z-scheme CuO/NCN heterojunction nanomaterials have been successfully synthesised by loading copper oxide on g-C3N4 modified with NCDs (NCN). The material detects and photocatalytically degrades levofloxacin (LOFL) in aqueous solution by fluorescence “turn on”. CuO/NCN has good sensing performance for LOFL in the range of 0–0.275 mM[R2 = 0.9994, detection limit: 0.360 μM (0.143 ppm)]. Through comprehensive tests, it was verified that the fluorescence sensitisation mechanism can be attributed to the combination of IFE and photoinduced electron transfer. Meanwhile, Transfacial electron transport bridges (NCDs) establish double charge transfer pathways that simultaneously accelerate electron flow and Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox cycling in Z-scheme CuO/NCN heterojunctions, resulting in a synergistic photo-Fenton-like system. By constructing CuO/NCN nanomaterials, an integrated solution to treat LOFL contamination in water has been realised, equipped with detection and removal capabilities. This opens up a promising avenue to effectively, rapidly and economically address LOFL contamination in water.
