Tailoring Lewis acid sites in lanthanum-doped carbon nitride for H2O2 synthesis and efficient photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics

Abstract

La-doped carbon nitride introduces La–N coordination and Lewis acid sites, enabling synchronous H2O2 generation/activation under visible light. The catalyst achieves >95% tetracycline removal within 1 h and stable continuous-flow mineralization, highlighting rare-earth Lewis site engineering for solar-driven purification and green synthesis.
