Enhanced performance of hierarchical porous HKUST-1/g-C3N4 heterostructure in the degradation of antibiotics with and without light (2025)
Journal Article

Currently, the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for water treatment are limited by the demand on externally supplied oxidants or illumination. To overcome these constraints, a series of micro-nano-composites composed of a copper-based metal–organi...
