Construction of a Bi-doped g-C₃N₄/Bi₂MoO₆ ternary nanocomposite for the effective photodegradation of ofloxacin under visible light irradiation.

ABSTRACT: Water contamination is a result of the excessive use of antibiotics nowadays. Owing to this environmental toxicity, photocatalytic degradation is the primary approach to non-biological degradation for their removal. In this context, zerovalent Bi-doped g-C₃N₄/Bi₂MoO₆ [g-C₃N₄/Bi@Bi₂MoO₆] ternary nanocomposite was prepared using the wet impregnation method. Surprisingly, zerovalent Bi is generated simultaneously during the hydrothermal synthesis of Bi₂MoO₆ without using any additional reducing agent. The performance of the synthesized catalyst for the removal of ofloxacin is measured using visible light radiation. Various techniques like XRD, XPS, DRS, HRTEM, FESEM, etc., were
