Design of 2D/2D β-Ni(OH)/ZnO heterostructures via photocatalytic deposition of nickel for sonophotocatalytic degradation of tetracycline and modeling with three supervised machine learning algorithms.

Due to the expansive use of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) to treat various infectious diseases in humans and animals, their presence in the environment has created many challenges for human societies. Therefore, providing green and cost-effective solutions for their effective removal has become an urgent need. Here, we will introduce 2D/2D p-n heterostructures that exhibit excellent sonophotocatalytic/photocatalytic properties for water-soluble pollutant removal.
