Preparation of Au-RGO/TiO2 nanotubes and study on the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin

Abstract

Au-RGO/TiO2 nanotubes were prepared by anodic oxidation and electrochemical deposition, and their performance in the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin was investigated. The results showed that, compared with TiO2 nanotubes and RGO/TiO2 nanotubes, the Au-RGO/TiO2 nanotubes had the highest ciprofloxacin degradation rate, reaching 96.93% in 180 min of photocatalysis. In addition, the possible degradation products of ciprofloxacin were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the mechanism of degradation of ciprofloxacin by Au-RGO/TiO2 nanotubes was analyzed.
