Photocatalytic Activation of Peroxodisulfate over the CuFeO/C/SiO Nanocomposite for Tetracycline Hydrochloride Robust Degradation.

The widespread use of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in treating bacterial diseases in humans and animals has resulted in significant environmental contamination, posing serious risks to water bodies and ecosystem functions. Herein, a novel CuFeO/C/SiO nanocomposite derived from agricultural waste rice husk was developed to address the urgent need for effective TCH degradation. Comprehensive characterization of the synthesized materials conclusively demonstrates the successful incorporation of CuFeO nanoparticles within the C/SiO matrix.
