Key Points

Photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline was significantly enhanced through the SnO2/Bi2O3CO3 heterojunction.
The novel photocatalyst achieved over 90% tetracycline removal in 120 minutes.
Synthesis of the photocatalyst was achieved through a chemical method ensuring optimal performance.
The results highlight the potential of using this photocatalyst to address antibiotic pollution in ecosystems.

Implication

Production of a novel heterojunction photocatalyst improves tetracycline degradation, suggesting eco-friendly solutions for antibiotic pollution.

Abstract

The widespread presence of antibiotic residues, such as tetracycline (TC), in natural water bodies poses a threat to ecosystems and human health.
