The microstructure, optoelectronic properties, and crystal structure of FOH/ZMO were systematically characterized using various characterization methods. The photocatalytic activity of FOH/ZMO was investigated by degrading tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) in simulated wastewater. Characterization results revealed that the FOH/ZMO composite material retained the tetragonal spinel structure of ZMO and formed a unique “velvet-ball-like” morphology. Moreover, FOH was uniformly and closely loaded on the surface of ZMO, and an S-scheme heterojunction structure was successfully constructed at the interface between the two materials. Through the synergistic effects of optimizing the interfacial charge transfer path, retaining highly active redox sites, and promoting the directional separation of carriers, this heterojunction significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity of FOH/ZMO. Quenching experiments further confirmed that superoxide radicals (·O<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup>) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were the primary reactive species in the degradation process. During the degradation performance tests, FOH/ZMO demonstrated outstanding visible-light catalytic activity. The optimal performance was achieved with 6 wt% FOH loading in FOH/ZMO under conditions of 0.6 g/L catalyst dosage, 20 mg/L initial TC concentration, and pH 7, reaching a degradation efficiency of 98.29% after 100 min of visible-light irradiation. Notably, the catalyst demonstrated excellent magnetic separability. After 4 cycles of use, the catalyst could still maintain a degradation efficiency of 93.79%, demonstrating sound stability. This study not only proposes a novel strategy for designing ZMO-based photocatalysts but also provides valuable insights into the development and practical applications of S-scheme heterojunction materials.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":508,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Letters","volume":"155 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144108406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its practical use is often hindered by issues such as low stability and reusability. In this study, CAT was effectively immobilized onto the onion inner epidermis (OIE) via adsorption and cross-linking techniques, aiming to improve its catalytic activity, stability and reusability. The optimization of the immobilization process was carried out by evaluating key factors, including CAT concentration, OIE quantity, adsorption duration, and cross-linker concentration. The immobilized CAT exhibited a significant improvement in thermal stability, retaining 50% activity at 60 °C compared to 30% for the free enzyme. Similarly, it displayed enhanced pH stability, maintaining 70% activity at pH 5.5 and pH 8.5, while the free enzyme retained only 50% and 60%, respectively. Kinetic studies revealed a higher V<sub>max</sub> (2.26 × 10<sup>−4</sup> µmol H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>/min) and lower K<sub>m</sub> (3.36 mM) for the immobilized enzyme, indicating improved catalytic efficiency and substrate affinity. The immobilized enzyme preserved 40% of its activity after 28 consecutive uses and retained 30% activity following 30 days of storage, demonstrating its long-term stability. This study demonstrates that immobilized CAT on OIE is a promising biocatalyst for agricultural and food industries, where it can be utilized for H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> detoxification, food preservation, and wastewater treatment. The use of OIE as a low-cost, natural carrier further supports the development of sustainable and eco-friendly biocatalytic systems for industrial applications.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":508,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Letters","volume":"155 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
