Abstract

Abstract In this study photoelectrocatalysis process (PECP) applied to the degradation of Norfloxacin (NOR), a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Nickel (Ni) doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) surface by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering was synthesized an anode electrode and titanium plate was selected a cathode electrode. Characterizations of synthesized anode were performed using liner Sweep voltammetry (LSV), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. The degradation efficiencies 98% under Ultra Violet-A (UV-A) and 64% under visible light were obtained.
