Facile Fabrication of Durable Biochar/H₂-TiO₂ for Highly Efficient Solar-Driven Degradation of Enrofloxacin: Properties, Degradation Pathways, and Mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Widespread application of TiO₂ for degradation of antibiotics is restricted by mainly the low photodegradation efficiency under solar irradiation. To expand the application of TiO₂, the key factors that should be improved are visible-light response, yield of electrons and holes, and durability. Herein, we report a visible-light responsive and durable sugarcane-bagasse-derived biochar supported hydrogenated TiO₂ (HSCB/H₂-TiO₂) photocatalyst with higher electron production fabricated by a facile one-pot hydrogenation. Mild hydrogenation temperature preserved the lotus-stem-like structure of sugarcane bagasse and gave the photocatalyst great separability. The superior durability of HSCB/H₂-TiO₂ was demonstrated by 12
