Abstract
Here, CuO/InBO3 nanocomposites were synthesized in one step using the sol-gel method. UV diffuse reflectance (DRS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the CuO/InBO3 nanocomposites. The results showed that CuO/InBO3 nanocomposites were successfully prepared and their ability to absorb light was significantly enhanced with respect to InBO3. Experiments on photo-oxidation of tetracycline (TC) were performed under simulated sunlight illumination. The kinetic constant of the photo-oxidation of TC by CuO/InBO3 was 0.0150 min-1 , which was enhanced by a factor of 4.7 with respect to the intrinsic InBO3. Finally, the mechanism of photooxidation of TC is proposed by free radical quenching experiments, in which the hydroxyl radical plays the most important role.
