Green synthesis of lignin nanorods/g-CN nanocomposite materials for efficient photocatalytic degradation of triclosan in environmental water.

Triclosan (TCS) is a common anti-microbial ingredient in pharmaceutical and personal care products. The usage of TCS was banned by the United States Food and Drug Administration (in 2016) due to its potential health risks. However, TCS has been frequently detected in the aquatic environment.
