Enhanced visible light photoelectrocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride by I and P co-doped TiO photoelectrode.

Elimination of antibiotics such as tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) from wastewater is of great significance, but still faces challenges. Herein, for the first time, I and P co-doped TiO catalysts were prepared via a hydrolysis method. We also reported a simple method to prepare I and P co-doped TiO photoelectrodes, which exhibited preeminent photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) performance for the decomposition of TC.
