Antibiotics are widely present in the environment due to their extensive and long-term use in modern medicine. The presence and dispersal of these compounds in the environment lead to the dissemination of antibiotic residues, thereby seriously threatening human and ecosystem health. Thus, the effective management of antibiotic residues in water and the practical applications of the management methods are long-term matters of contention among academics. Particularly, photocatalysis has attracted extensive interest as it enables the treatment of antibiotic residues in an eco-friendly manner. Considerable progress has been achieved in the implementation of photocatalytic treatment of antibiotic residues in the past few years. Therefore, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent developments on this important topic. This review primarily focuses on the application of photocatalysis as a promising solution for the efficient decomposition of antibiotic residues in water. Particular emphasis was laid on improvement and modification strategies, such as augmented light harvesting, improved charge separation, and strengthened interface interaction, all of which enable the design of powerful photocatalysts to enhance the photocatalytic removal of antibiotics.
由于抗生素在现代医学中的广泛和长期使用，它们在环境中广泛存在。这些化合物在环境中的存在和扩散导致抗生素残留的传播，从而严重威胁人类和生态系统健康。因此，水中抗生素残留的有效管理以及管理方法的实际应用一直是学术界长期争论的问题。特别是，光催化因其能够以环保方式处理抗生素残留而引起了广泛关注。在过去几年中，光催化处理抗生素残留的实施取得了相当大的进展。因此，本综述全面概述了这一重要主题的最新进展。本综述主要关注光催化作为一种有前途的解决方案在有效分解水中抗生素残留方面的应用。特别强调了改进和修饰策略，如增强光捕获、改善电荷分离和加强界面相互作用，所有这些都有助于设计强大的光催化剂以增强抗生素的光催化去除效果。
