Article Synopsis
- Synthesized iron oxide doped carbon nitride (0.5-2 wt.%) was characterized using various techniques, including XPS and SEM, and tested for degrading the herbicide dicamba with hydrogen peroxide.
- A specialized 3D printed photon concentrator equipped with COB LEDs was employed as a reactor, resulting in photocurrent and dicamba degradation heavily influenced by light intensity and the shape of the concentrator.
- The degradation process involved multiple mechanisms, such as the photocatalytic activity of carbon nitride, electron/hole pair dynamics, and the reactive capabilities of iron oxide, with LCMS analysis revealing significant changes in the degradation products.
