Abstract
@GCN composite demonstrated approximately 99% efficiency within 60 minutes. Additionally, recyclability tests showed good stability after five cycles, with no significant structural changes confirmed by FTIR and FESEM analyses. This study highlights the importance of interface structure and porous morphology in enhancing photocatalytic efficiency, paving the way for effective photocatalysts for wastewater treatment applications.
