We combined CeO2-x with Ag4V2O7 to fabricate binary novel CeO2-x/Ag4V2O7 photocatalysts through a facile hydrothermal route. Among the CeO2- x/Ag4V2O7 photocatalysts, the nanocomposite with 20 % of Ag4V2O7 was more effective than CeO2-x nanoparticles in detoxification of tetracycline (9.48 times), azithromycin (3.80 times), methylene blue (3.42 times), Fuchsine (3.58 times), and Cr (IV) (1.34-times) solutions under visible light. The charges segregation and transfer efficacious studies exhibited effective collaborations of CeO2-x and Ag4V2O7 nanoparticles in the successful reaching of the produced electron/hole pairs to the catalyst surface, and an s-scheme pathway was suggested for the charge segregation between CeO2-x and Ag4V2O7 nanoparticles. Moreover, the biocompatibility and reusability of the CeO2-x/Ag4V2O7 (20 %) photocatalyst were tested respectively in the growth of lentil seeds and four repeated runs.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessS-Scheme PhotocatalystAntibioticsPhotoreduction Of Cr (Iv)Visible-Light PhotocatalystArticle556Q2Q2WOS:001183938400001
