Development of MWCNTs based Composite Photocatalyst for Tetracycline Removal from Aqueous Environment

Abstract

Visible-light responsive photocatalysis is recently considered one of the sustainable methods to remove tetracycline antibiotics from contaminated water. However, they are not accepted for practical applications due to certain limitations such as fast charge recombination rate and higher energy band gap. Therefore, this study successfully synthesised a novel multiwalled carbon nanotubes-based heterostructure composite photocatalysts with improved charge recombination rated and energy band gap for tetracycline antibiotic removal.
