The ZnIn2S4/g-C3N5 composite achieved 88.4% degradation of ciprofloxacin in 90 minutes under solar irradiation.
The catalyst produced 3368 μM L-1 of H2O2 under visible light, outpacing pristine ZnIn2S4 and g-C3N5 efficiency.
Mechanistic studies confirmed that the Z-scheme configuration improves charge separation and enhances reactive species generation.
The catalyst maintained high efficiency over four cycles and demonstrated antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis and E. coli.
