Cu/Fe co-doped Sphagnum palustre-derived biochar for the synergistic adsorption and photocatalytic removal of tetracycline hydrochloride
The Cu/Fe co-doped biochar composite exhibited excellent removal performance through a synergistic adsorption-photocatalysis mechanism. Photogenerated electrons were the dominant reactive species, supported by •OH, •O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>, and h<sup>+</sup>. An S-scheme charge transfer mechanism was proposed to explain the enhanced redox capability. These findings demonstrate the potential of CFO/S as a promising candidate for visible-light-driven removal of antibiotic contaminants in water.
