Highly disordered g-C3N4 with abundant carbon defects boosting photocatalytic tetracycline degradation

Key Points

• Tetracycline degradation rate was significantly enhanced due to abundant carbon defects in g-C3N4.
• The study reports a remarkable degradation efficiency of 95% within 120 minutes under simulated sunlight.
• Analysis of photocatalytic activity was conducted using various characterizations of the disordered g-C3N4 material.
• This material shows promise as a viable solution for antibiotic degradation in wastewater treatment.
