Polyethylene terephthalate pre-protected and iron, oxygen co-doped carbon nitride for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants

Key Points

• Enhanced degradation of organic pollutants was observed through effective photocatalytic processes.
• The carbon nitride was doped with iron and oxygen to improve its photocatalytic activity significantly.
• Using polyethylene terephthalate pre-protection maximized the efficiency of the photocatalyst under light exposure.
• This technology shows potential for targeting environmental pollutants through advanced materials and processes.
