Synthesis of TiO2-C3N4 for Removal of Tetracycline

Abstract

The widespread use of antibiotics such as tetracycline has led to significant environmental contamination, necessitating the development of effective removal methods. TiO₂-C₃N₄ composites are promising photocatalysts due to their enhanced photocatalytic properties and stability. This study aims to synthesize TiO₂-C₃N₄ composites with varying mass ratios via a hydrothermal process, characterize their physicochemical properties, and evaluate their efficiency in degrading tetracycline.
