Ag@ZIF-8/g-C3N4 Z-scheme photocatalyst for the enhanced removal of multiple classes of antibiotics by integrated adsorption and photocatalytic degradation under visible light irradiation

By combining the plasmon resonance of Ag nanoparticles and orientation effects of ZIF-8, as well as the visible-light activity of g-C 3 N 4 , we constructed a direct Z-scheme heterojunction with a co-existing Ag + /Ag 0 system by an in situ coprecipitation method.
