摘要

P-MoO3-Gd2O3 S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was constructed through in-situ thermal decomposition of sodium phosphomolybdate combined with hydrothermal strategy. The results showed that P was uniformly doped into the MoO3 lattice, and Gd2O3 was closely combined with P-MoO3 at the nanoscale. The specific surface area of the composite material increased to 49.34 m2/g, and the surface hydrophilicity was significantly improved. The construction of the S-scheme heterojunction moderately extends the lifetime of photogenerated carriers. Photocatalytic experiments demonstrated that the degradation activity of P-MoO3-Gd2O3 towards oxytetracycline was significantly higher than that of pure Gd2O3 and P-MoO3, maintaining good catalytic performance in the pH range of 7 to 13, and showing resistance to common cations in water. Based on Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) result, three parallel pathways of deamination, side chain cleavage, and aromatic ring opening were proposed. Computational toxicology simulation suggests that the small-molecule intermediates possess lower toxicity than OTC, whereas early degradation intermediates still exhibit high ecological risks. This research provides an idea for the preparation of S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts for the purification of water contaminated by antibiotics.
