Abstract: With the aim of solving the pollution and remediation issues of antibiotic pollutants in aquatic environment, a novel Cu-ZnO/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst was synthesized in this work, with Cu-doped ZnO coupled with g-C3N4. The degradation efficiency of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in the photocatalytic process of Cu-ZnO/g-C3N4 under visible-light irradiation was investigated. Through various means such as X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), photoluminescence (PL) and electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR), the material properties of synthesized photocatalysts were characterized. By using the measurement technology of hydroxyl radicals (·OH), the formed concentration of ·OH during photocatalytic process was quantified to further explore possible reaction mechanism. The results demonstrate that Cu-ZnO/g-C3N4 possesses excellent visible-light responsivity and enhanced charge transfer ability due to a heterojunction effect, thereby CIP degradation rapidly reaching to 97% after 6 h. The reaction rate constant of Cu-ZnO/g-C3N4 is 6.19 times, 2.41 times and 2.06 times larger than that of ZnO, Cu-ZnO and g-C3N4, respectively. Thus, the synthesized Cu-ZnO/g-C3N4 can serve as an efficient visible-light active photocatalyst for micropollutant removal in water.
