A Z-scheme NiCo2O4/S codoped 1D g-C3N4 heterojunction for solar-light-sensitive photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics in aqueous solutions exemplified by tetracycline

A NiCo 2 O 4 nanoparticle (NP) and sulfur codoped hollow tubular g-C 3 N 4 (NiCo–S@CN) catalyst was synthesized by a hydrothermal pyrolysis method and used to remove pharmaceuticals, exemplified by the antibiotic tetracycline (TC), from water under solar light irradiation.
