To further enhance the photo-Fenton catalytic efficiency and stability, this work thermally decomposed a dual MOF into TiO2/Fe2O3 (TF-3–350), retaining the morphology of the original dual MOF and effectively preventing the agglomeration of metal oxide nanoparticles. TF-3–350 possessed mesoporous structures within 10 nm, a rich specific surface area, and a partially hollow structure, which provided a micro-reactor environment for photocatalysis, increasing the number of active sites and reducing the distance for mass and charge transfer. On the one hand, forming a Z-scheme heterojunction between TiO2 and Fe2O3 facilitates charge and hole separation. On the other hand, oxygen radicals produced from the Fe2O3 and H2O2 photo-Fenton process, along with TiOOH structures formed between TiO2 and H2O2, synergistically contributed to the degradation of tetracycline (TC). Asa result, TF-3–350 achieved 97.4 % degradation of TC within 140 minutes, with photocatalytic performance improved by 13.8 %, 24.2 %, and 21.5 % compared to single components and their mixtures, respectively. Additionally, this work employed density functional theory (DFT) calculations and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to investigate the pathways of photo-induced electron transfer and photocatalytic degradation. Finally, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis was conducted to assess the toxicity of degradation intermediates, confirming the efficacy of the photocatalytic process. This work provides new insights for dual MOF-derived metal oxides in the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water. |\n\n1. Introduction  \nIn recent decades, antibiotics have been extensively applied in the medical field and livestock industry. However, due to incomplete metabolism in both humans and animals, antibiotics discharged into wastewater have led to severe environmental pollution and health issues. Antibiotics, notably tetracycline hydrochloride, are chemically stable, and traditional adsorption or biodegradation methods fail to fully degrade them [1,2]. Therefore, there is a need for a more efficient approach to remove refractory organic molecules.  \nPhoto-Fenton technology can effectively degrade organic pollutants in water by utilizing photo-generated electrons and holes from  \nphotocatalysts, as well as hydroxyl radicals (•OH) produced from thereaction of iron ions with hydrogen peroxide [3]. Fe2O3, with good biocompatibility, relatively low production cost, and a suitable bandgap to absorb visible light, is a widely studied photo-Fenton catalyst. Nevertheless, due to the high recombination rate of photogenerated carriers, Fe2O3 exhibits poor photo-Fenton activity; it requires specific pH conditions for optimal performance, typically in acidic media; and it may generate secondary pollutants such as ferric sludge and deactiv","cbCaiuwoc7BZFgbD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuwoc7BZFgbD","pdf",15051263,1,14,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n##
