Study on the Different Photocatalytic Performances for Tetracycline Hydrochloride Degradation of p-block Metal Composite Oxides Sr1.36Sb2O_6 and Sr2Sb2O_7

p-block metal composite oxides Sr_1.36Sb₂O₆ and Sr₂Sb₂O₇ synthesized by a hydrothermal method as photocatalysts in the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride under UV light irradiation have been extensively studied.The effects of synthesis conditions on the photocatalytic activity were discussed.The Sr_1.36Sb₂O₆-100°C-24 h-5 and Sr₂Sb₂O₇-150℃-24 h^-2 samples prepared under optimal conditions exhibited remarkably different photocatalytic activities.The essential factors influencing the difference of photocatalytic performance were revealed.The results showed that the different photocatalytic activities observed for Sr_1.36Sb₂O₆and Sr₂Sb₂O₇ could be attributed to their different electronic and crystal structures.Our work will provide a new perspective for the screening and design of p-block metal composite oxide photocatalysts to enhance the removal of organic pollutants in the environment.
