Abstract
species dominated the oxidative pathways, further confirming the proposed radical-driven mechanism facilitated by rGO-directed electron extraction. The catalyst showed strong reusability, with efficiency retention of >84% after five cycles, thus confirming outstanding structural robustness and photochemical durability. This work develops a synergistic approach that involves defect engineering and carbon-framework incorporation to further advance Bi-based ceramic photocatalysts toward a scalable and high-performance platform for visible-light-driven wastewater remediation.
