Novel B/ZnO material for enhanced degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride in an aqueous environment under visible light

In this study, the B/ZnO materials were simply synthesized via a Sol-gel method. The photocatalytic ability of materials was evaluated by degrading tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The characteristics of the ZnO and 3B/ZnO materials were analyzed and evaluated by the Diffuse Reflectance UltravioletVisible (DR/UV-Vis), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques.
