Abstract
oxide heterojunction also presented a photocatalytic performance better than those of reported solar light active photocatalysts for photodegradation of rhodamine B and tetracycline. The efficient photocatalytic performance of the heterojunction can be ascribed to its extended light-absorbing ability, effective charge separation and fast charge transfer properties, and a high surface area. Moreover, an active species detection experiment also confirmed that superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and holes played significant roles in the photocatalysis of the organic dyes and tetracycline.
