Enhanced disinfection of E. faecalis and levofloxacin antibiotic degradation using tridoped B-Ce-Ag TiO photocatalysts synthesized by ecofriendly citrate EDTA complexing method.

Since its use for photochemical water splitting reported first in 1972, TiO is one of the most extensively studied photocatalysts for a diverse range of applications. Monodoping or codoping of the catalyst is a proven strategy to enhance the functionality of TiO under solar or visible light. However, the use of three or more dopants in the development of more efficient and visible light active photocatalysts has not been investigated widely, especially for microbial disinfection.
