Dual-atom cascade catalysis: In situ photogeneration and lewis acid activation of H2O2 over Ag-Ga sites for antibiotic degradation

Key Points

• Antibiotic degradation is enhanced when employing dual-atom cascade catalysis involving Ag-Ga sites and H2O2.
• Significant improvements in degradation rates were noted, with maximum efficiency observed at specific conditions.
• Assessment using dual-atom cascade catalysis reveals activation of H2O2, leading to more effective breakdown of antibiotics in water.
• The method shows promising applications for wastewater treatment, potentially reducing antibiotic pollution.
