Developing a sharp cone warhammer-like MIL-88A/Ag/MIL-88B Z-scheme heterojunction by controlled in situ semi-conversion strategy: Adsorption-photodegradation of meloxicam and antibacterial activity

Puntos clave

• The central aim is to develop a dual-function material that can degrade contaminants and combat bacterial growth for environmental applications.
• Developed a Z-scheme MIL-88A/Ag/MIL-88B heterojunction through a controlled in situ semi-conversion strategy.
• Conducted experiments to assess the adsorption and photodegradation capabilities of the developed materials.
• Evaluated the antibacterial activity of the heterojunction against multiple bacterial strains.
• The MIL-88A/Ag/MIL-88B heterojunction showed high efficacy in degrading meloxicam under light exposure.
• Significant antibacterial activity was observed, suggesting its potential for environmental applications.
• The developed material exhibited improved performance compared to conventional materials in both degradation and antibacterial tests.
