Dual-Functional Manganese Dioxide Nanoparticles for Sorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Tetracycline in Water

Tetracycline (TC), a widely used antibiotic, is persistent in aquatic environments, posing significant ecological risks. This study investigates the application of manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnO₂ NPs), synthesized via a hydrothermal method, for the removal of tetracycline from polluted water. The synthesized MnO₂ NPs demonstrated high purity, excellent crystallinity, and substantial adsorption capacity, positioning them as a promising solution for mitigating antibiotic contamination. Furthermore, their ability to facilitate visible-light-induced photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline underscores their dual functionality, making them an effective option for comprehensive water remediation.
