Pd-TiO2/ZnFe2O4 photocatalyst for photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin under solar light irradiation
This study reports the preparation of a Pd-TiO₂/ZnFe₂O₄ nanocomposite via a straightforward hydrothermal synthesis followed by thermal decomposition. The structural, morphological, and optical characteristics of the synthesized material were examined using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), elemental mapping, UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) analysis. The Pd-TiO₂/ZnFe₂O₄ nanocomposite exhibited enhanced light absorption across both UV and visible regions in comparison to pure TiO₂. Its photocatalytic efficiency was tested by degrading ciprofloxacin under irradiation. The composite demonstrated superior degradation performance over TiO₂ and TiO₂/ZnFe₂O₄, achieving the best results at neutral pH (7). Additionally, the catalyst retained its stability and activity over five consecutive reuse cycles. These findings highlight the potential of Pd-TiO₂/ZnFe₂O₄ as an efficient solar-driven photocatalyst for wastewater treatment applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
