Tailoring Lewis acid sites in lanthanum-doped carbon nitride for H 2 O 2 synthesis and efficient photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics

Key Points

• Over 95% tetracycline removal is achieved within just 1 hour of photocatalytic treatment.
• The introduction of lanthanum enhances Lewis acid sites, facilitating hydrogen peroxide generation under visible light.
• Catalysis shows stable continuous-flow mineralization, crucial for environmental applications.
• Enhancing rare-earth Lewis sites offers promising green synthesis options, yet the approach needs further exploration.
