Regarding its novelty, electrochemistry was the primary tool for synthesis, one that constitutes a viable alternative to other complex chemical and physical processes. The parameters of electrodeposition and thermal conditions promoted different nanostructured Bi2MoO6 and Bi2MoO6@Bi2MoO6-x films. The nanostructured homojunction Bi2MoO6@Bi2MoO6-x films obtained after 3 h of calcination showing micro- and nanowire morphology emerged as the most effective photocatalyst for degrading and mineralizing the mono- and multiantibiotic solutions (i.e., tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, and/or levofloxacin), which achieved near-total degradation and exceptionally high mineralization values (>95%) after 180 min of radiation. The materials' proven reusability, low photocorrosion activity, and excellent photocatalytic performance in mineralizing antibiotics can support the implementation of Bi2MoO6@Bi2MoO6-x homojunctions as efficient visible-light photocatalysts under solar radiation.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Gómez, Elvira, et al., 2022https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/AntibiòticsFotocatàlisiAntibioticsPhotocatalysisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7241512022-10-04info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
