The current study mainly focused on the fabrication of 2D graphitic carbon nitride-supported tin oxide nanoparticles (SnO/g-CN) for the effective degradation of Amoxicillin (AMX). Tin oxide (SnO) NPs were prepared by green and easy modification technique, and then it is decorated over g-CN nanosheets. The structural morphology and surface composition of the synthesized SnO/g-CN nanocomposite were fully analysed by UV-Vis, XRD, XPS, and HR-SEM with EDAX, FT-IR, and BET analysis. The (HR-TEM) microscopy, the size of SnO NPs which as a diameter is about 6.2 nm. The Raman analysis revealed that the SnO/g-CN composite had a moderate graphitic structure, with a measured I/I value of 0.79. The degradation efficiency of antibiotic pollutant AMX and pharma effluent treatment was monitored by UV spectroscopy. The optical band gap of SnO (2.9 eV) and g-CN (2.8 eV) photocatalyst was measured by Tauc plots. To investigate the mechanism through the photodegradation efficiency of the catalyst was analysed by using different Scavenger EDTA-2Na holes (h) has a greater contribution towards the degradation process. Under visible irradiation, SnO/g-CN nanocomposite has exhibited an excellent degradation performance of 92.1% against AMX and 90.8% for pharmaceutical effluent in 80 min.
本研究主要致力于制备二维石墨相氮化碳负载氧化锡纳米粒子（SnO/g-CN），以有效降解阿莫西林（AMX）。采用绿色、易修饰的技术制备氧化锡（SnO）纳米粒子，然后将其修饰在 g-CN 纳米片上。通过 UV-Vis、XRD、XPS、HR-SEM 与 EDAX、FT-IR 和 BET 分析，对合成的 SnO/g-CN 纳米复合材料的结构形貌和表面组成进行了全面分析。（HR-TEM）显微镜，SnO NPs 的尺寸约为 6.2nm。拉曼分析表明，SnO/g-CN 复合材料具有适度的石墨结构，I/I 值为 0.79。通过紫外光谱监测抗生素污染物 AMX 和制药废水的处理降解效率。通过 Tauc 图测量 SnO（2.9eV）和 g-CN（2.8eV）光催化剂的光学带隙。为了研究通过光催化剂的光降解效率来分析机制，使用不同的清除剂 EDTA-2Na 研究了空穴（h）对降解过程的贡献更大。在可见光照射下，SnO/g-CN 纳米复合材料在 80 分钟内对 AMX 的降解性能达到 92.1%，对制药废水的降解性能达到 90.8%。
