Abstract

The novel Mn₂O₃ nanocubes were first fabricated by one-pot hydrothermal method. The microstructure and crystal type of the as-prepared Mn₂O₃ were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM and TEM analyses. Results showed that the Mn₂O₃ nanocubes were cubic bixbyite with side length ranging from 65 to 103 nm. Interestingly, the Mn₂O₃ nanocubes exhibited strong absorption to ultraviolet light as well as visible light, achieving 94.7% and 85.4% removal of ciprofloxacin and total organic carbon (TOC) respectively under simulated sunlight irradiation for 90 min. The Mn₂O₃ nanocubes would be a good candidate for persistent contaminants degradation by photocatalysis.
