Herein, we introduce an innovative nanohybrid material for advanced wastewater treatment, composed of -derived biochar and bismuth oxychloride (Biochar/BiOC), demonstrated in a solar photoreactor. This work focuses on the efficient degradation of linezolid (LIN), a persistent pharmaceutical pollutant, utilizing the unique (photo)catalytic capabilities of the nanohybrid. Compared with its individual components, the biochar/BiOC hybrid exhibits a remarkable degradation efficiency of 82.

Dyes are applied and evaluated in performance of dye sensitized solar cell. N3-Se dye showed superior photochemical& electrochemical behavior and high rate electron transfer across anode surface than N3-S dye.
