Abstract

Ciprofloxacin (CIP, C17H18FN3O3), one of the main pollution sources detected in water, has raised intense issues. In order to resolve this issue, it is essential to achieve efficient degradation of CIP under visible light. Herein, a set of two-dimensional composites MoS2/Bi2MoO6 were constructed, and proved via XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, and XPS, respectively. In addition, the results recorded that when the optimized composites 0.5%-MoS2/Bi2MoO6 were applied, the degradation rate of CIP was up to 91% at 120 min under the irradiation of visible light (> 395 nm) which was superior to that of the pure MoS2 or Bi2MoO6. UV–Vis DRS, photocurrent, and electrical impedance analyses indicate that the outperformance of 0.5%-MoS2/Bi2MoO6 is due to the optimized band gap and specific surface area. More importantly, a photocatalytic mechanism was proposed based on the analysis of GC–MS (according to the references (Dang et al. in Chem Eng J 422(15):130103, 2021; Zhu et al. in Environ Sci Pollut Res Int 30(11):28874–28888, 2022)) and active species. The result was manifest: CIP was degraded progressively under the attack of photocatalytically generated h+,.O2−. This work opens up a category for the construction of efficient Bi2MoO6-based composites and proposes a hypothetical mechanism and pathway for CIP degradation.
