Description
Summary:This study investigates the photocatalytic degradation of PCB 153 using Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2‐Co core‐shell nanocomposites under LED irradiation. The unique core‐shell structure, incorporating a magnetic Fe3O4 core, a protective SiO2 layer, and a photoactive TiO2 shell doped with Co, enhances light absorption, charge separation, and stability. The effects of various parameters, including catalyst dosage, initial pollutant concentration, solution pH, H2O2 concentration, reaction time, and cosolvent type, were investigated to optimize the degradation process. The results demonstrated the high efficiency of the Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2‐Co nanocomposite in degrading PCB 153, with a maximum degradation efficiency of 95.2% under optimal conditions. The magnetic properties of the Fe3O4 core enable easy separation and recovery of the catalyst, making it a sustainable and cost‐effective solution. This study provides valuable insights into the design and application of advanced photocatalysts for environmental remediation. This study explores the photocatalytic degradation of the persistent organic pollutant PCB 153 using Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2‐Co core‐shell nanoparticles. The unique core‐shell structure enhances light absorption, charge separation, and stability, leading to efficient PCB degradation under LED irradiation. The magnetic properties of the Fe3O4 core enable easy separation and recovery of the catalyst, making it a sustainable and cost‐effective solution for environmental remediation.
