Synthesis of CdS-loaded (CuC₁₀H₂₆N₆)₃(PW₁₂O₄₀)₂ for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline under simulated solar light irradiation.

ABSTRACT: Largely discharged and excreted medical pollutants pose huge threats to ecosystems. However, typical photocatalysts, such as the Keggin-typed H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, can hardly degrade these hazards under visible-light due to their broad bandgap and catalytic disability. In this work, the visible light harvesting was enabled by combining macrocyclic coordination compound CuC₁₀H₂₆N₆Cl₂O₈ with H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, and the resulting CuPW was loaded with CdS to reach robust catalytic ability to totally detoxify medicines. We prepared the CuPW-CdS composites through a facile precipitation method, and it showed excellent photocatalytic degradation for degrading tetracycline under visible-light irrad
