Effective Visible Light-Driven Photocatalytic Degradation of Ciprofloxacin over Flower-like Fe₃O₄/Bi₂WO₆ Composites.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalytic degradation of organic pollution is a vital path to deal with environmental problems. Here, a direct Z-scheme 2D/2D heterojunction of a Fe₃O₄/Bi₂WO₆ photocatalyst is fabricated for the degradation of ciprofloxacin by a self-assembly strategy. Furthermore, to characterize the morphology of the obtained composite photocatalysts, various kinds of characterization methods were employed like XRD, XPS, SEM, and TEM. It is indicated that the flower-like photocatalyst is composed of nanosheets. Comparable photocatalysts were prepared by controlling the hydrothermal temperature and the iron content. In the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in water, under visible light irradiation, FB-180 (synthesized at 180 °C with 4% iron
