In this paper, Dy3+ -doped ZnO nanocrystals have been synthesized via a simple combustion method. The as-prepared cuboid-like ZnO nanocrystals appear to be single hexagonal crystalline phase with an average diameter of 20 nm. The characteristic luminescence of doped Dy3+ ions has been evaluated, and the highly enhanced photoluminescence of Dy3+ ions can be obtained by Li+ doping.

The environmental persistence of pharmaceuticals represents a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health, while limitations in conventional wastewater treatment methods underscore the urgent need for innovative and eco-friendly degradation strategies. Photobiocatalytic approaches provide a promising solution for the effective degradation of pharmaceutical contaminants by harnessing the synergistic effects of both photocatalysts and biocatalysts. In this study, we developed a photobiocatalytic composite by co-immobilizing laccase enzyme and zinc oxide nanoparticles on bacterial cellulose synthesized from orange peel waste.
