Rational design of Ag@AgCl/g-CN/zeolite composite with significantly enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity for tetracycline degradation and hydrogen evolution.

In the case of increasingly scarce global energy resources and worsening environmental problems, it is particularly important to explore effective ways to alleviate the environmental and energy crises. In this paper, a ternary Ag@AgCl/g-CN/zeolite photocatalyst was prepared for effective degradation of tetracycline (TC) and H production under visible light. Under visible light irradiation, the Ag@AgCl/g-CN/zeolite-25 photocatalyst demonstrates a remarkable degradation efficiency of 97.

Facile Fabrication of Novel S-scheme AgPO/g-CN/Zeolite Photocatalyst for Boosting Photocatalytic Tetracycline Degradation and Hydrogen Production.

This study presents a novel ternary AgPO/g-CN/zeolite composite for photocatalytic H production and TC degradation through S-scheme electron transport. The S-scheme AgPO/g-CN heterojunction was successfully constructed on zeolite surface through calcination and precipitation processes. The results indicated that AgPO/g-CN/zeolite-50 % presented dramatically enhanced photocatalytic TC degradation performance, and the TC degradation efficiency was up to 92.
