A dual S-scheme nanocellulose-based SnWO/CuO/AgWO (NC-SCA) heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized via ultrasonication followed by a hydrothermal method for the efficient photodegradation of amoxicillin (AMX). Under UV-vis light irradiation, the NC-SCA photocatalyst exhibited an impressive 97.40% AMX degradation within 30 min, attributed to its improved optical absorption and superior charge migration.
