Magnetically recoverable Ni-doped iron oxide/graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposites for the improved photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin: Investigation of degradation pathways.

Developing efficient and effective photocatalysts is essential for organic dyes and antibiotic degradation in wastewater. Ni-doped α-FeO/g-CN (NFGCN) photocatalysts were synthesised through a simple co-precipitation technique and used for the ciprofloxacin (CIP) and methylene blue (MB) degradation through photocatalysis. The XRD data indicated the crystallinity of the synthesised iron oxide and its composites with rhombohedral structures with the nature of high purity.
