Overview

Nanocomposite demonstrates 95% OTC mineralization and 91% Cr(VI) reduction, highlighting its effectiveness.

Key Points

  • The Sm2O3/Ir@Bi2O3 composite achieved 95% degradation of oxytetracycline in 55 minutes, showcasing high photocatalytic efficiency.
  • Rate constants for OTC degradation and Cr(VI) reduction were 0.073 min-1 and 0.058 min-1, respectively, indicating excellent performance compared to standalone catalysts.
  • The study utilized hydrothermal synthesis to develop the nanocomposite, leading to synergistic effects in photocatalytic reactions under UV-vis irradiation.
  • This nanocomposite's versatile photocatalytic properties suggest it as a promising approach for treating pharmaceutical and industrial wastewater.
