Synergistic Effects of CoO-gCN-Coated ZnO Nanoparticles: A Novel Approach for Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of Ciprofloxacin and Hydrogen Evolution via Water Splitting.

This research evaluates the efficacy of catalysts based on CoO-gCN@ZnONPs in the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CFX) and the photocatalytic production of H through water splitting. The results show that CFX experiences prompt photodegradation, with rates reaching up to 99% within 60 min. Notably, the 5% (CoO-gCN)@ZnONPs emerged as the most potent catalyst.
