Abstract
The susceptible light-harvesting and tremendous reduction capability along with the potentiality (photo)electrochemical merits of the thiospinels like CuCo2S4 (CCS) bring forth appreciably an advancement in efficacious photocatalytic reactions. However, scant oxidation potential originated from 3p orbitals of sulfur atoms puts a damper on their performance and is even conducive to self-oxidation. In this research, the surfactant/template free of hierarchical CCS thiospinels was synthesized using solvothermal sulfidation of the affordable glycerate-based CuCo-alkoxide and successfully was embedded with Z-scheme V2O5 deposited on wrinkled g-C3N4 lamella (VO-UCN) in the interest of developing...

Abstract
Levofloxacin has been widely used in recent years as an antibiotic in the treatment of various bacterial infections. This drug compound is known as a newly emerging contaminant. In this study, the degradation of this pollutant has been investigated using advanced oxidation processes, biological process, and a combination of advanced oxidation-biological processes. In order to evaluate the degradation of levofloxacin with advanced oxidation processes, an electrochemical process was used. Advanced oxidation processes were carried out to optimize initial concentration parameters of the contaminant (5-15 milligrams per liter), electrolyte concentration (2.5-10 grams per liter), and current...
