Ultrathin iron-cobalt oxide nanosheets with enhanced H2O2 activation performance for efficient degradation of tetracycline

Ultrathin iron-cobalt oxide nanosheets (CoFe-ONSs) synthesized via a facile one-step routine by using NaBH4 as the reductant were used for H2O2 activation and tetracycline (TC) elimination. The CoFe-ONSs realized 83.5% removal of TC under the neutral conditions after 50 min with 0.3 g/L catalyst, 20 mM H2O2 and 50 mg/L TC. The effects of catalyst dosage, H2O2 concentration, initial pH, temperature, initial TC concentration, anions and water...
