Ultrasound-assisted photocatalytic decomposition of rifadin with biochar and CNT-based NiCr layered double hydroxides

Mehmet KOBYA

Modification of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) is known to be beneficial for boosting the consistent formation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs) and enhancing the photocatalytic process. Herein, a facile synthesis method for preparing carbon nanotube (CNT) and biochar (BC)-based NiCr LDH (NC) nanocomposites as a sonophotocatalyst for the efficient degradation of rifadin (RA) was provided. The formation of thin nanosheet structures of NC along with porous and nanotube structures of BC and CNT was well approved by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron mic ...Более
