The application of a new recyclable photocatalyst γ-FeO@SiO@ZIF8-Ag in the photocatalytic degradation of amoxicillin in aqueous solutions.

This pilot study synthesized the γ-FeO@SiO@ZIF8-Ag nanocomposites via the hydrothermal method to study its potential use in amoxicillin degradation as a novel photocatalyst in aqueous solutions under visible light radiation. Various diagnostic methods were used to determine the morphology and functional structure of the photocatalyst, and the results confirmed its proper formation. Complete degradation of AMX was obtained at a pH of 5, catalyst dosage of 0.
