Solvothermal Synthesis of Flower-Like Biox Nanophotocatalysts:Characterization and Comparison of Their Performance inPhotocatalytic Elimination of Ciprofloxacin

Wastewater treatment with photocatalysts has been one of most attractive methods among theresearchers. The Flower-Like BiOX Nanophotocatalysts has been Synthesis by Solvothermal method inorder to photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin-HCL under the irradiation of simulated sunlight.X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and ۳D texture analysesperformed to evaluate crystalline and structural properties of the synthesized photocatalysts. BiOCl hasshown the best degradation efficiency (۸۵.۱%). The high activity of the flower like BiOClnanophotocatalyst could be concluded from its suitable bandgap and high solar light harvesting, whichlead to the increase of electron-hole pairs production.
