Boosted Photocatalytic Performance for Antibiotics Removal with Ag/PW₁₂/TiO₂ Composite: Degradation Pathways and Toxicity Assessment.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalyst is the core of photocatalysis and directly determines photocatalytic performance. However, low quantum efficiency and low utilization of solar energy are important technical problems in the application of photocatalysis. In this work, a series of polyoxometalates (POMs) [H₃PW₁₂O₄₀] (PW₁₂)-doped titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanofibers modified with various amount of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by utilizing electrospinning/photoreduction strategy, and were labelled as x wt% Ag/PW₁₂/TiO₂ (abbr. x% Ag/PT, x = 5, 10, and 15, respectively). The as-prepared materials were characterized with a series of techniques and exhibited remarkable catalytic activities for visible-lig
