Satisfactory degradation of tetracycline by a pH-universal CoFe-LDH/MoS₂ heterojunction catalyst in Fenton process.

ABSTRACT: Fenton or Fenton-like reactions have been widely used in various fields, including solar energy conversion to generate hydroxyl radicals, environmental remediation, biology, and life science. However, the slow Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ cycle and narrow applicable pH range still present significant challenges. Here, a heterostructured CoFe-layered double hydroxide/MoS₂ nanocomposite (CoFe-LDH/MoS₂) was prepared via simple electrostatic interactions. The heterostructure establishes a robust interfacial contact, leading to an abundance of exposed Mo⁶⁺ sites. Consequently, the developed CoFe-LDH/MoS₂+H₂O₂ system exhibited superior performance in the degradation of tetracycline (>85%) within 60 min across a wide pH range fr
