Three-dimensional hierarchical CuCoAl-layered double hydroxide/Ti3C2 Schottky heterojunction for efficient visible-light degradation of ciprofloxacin

Key Points

• Efficient visible-light degradation achieved with the Schottky heterojunction, enhancing photocatalytic activity.
• The study shows over 90% degradation of ciprofloxacin within 120 minutes under visible light exposure.
• Photocatalysis was assessed using a three-dimensional hierarchical CuCoAl-layered double hydroxide structure.
• These findings suggest potential for improved environmental remediation technologies for antibiotic contaminants.
