▎ 摘　　要

Synergy between adsorption and photocatalysis provides an ideal green technology to treat antibiotic pollution in water. In this study, single-atom Mn anchored on N-doped graphene oxide (Mn-NGO) was synthesized for enhanced adsorptive-photocatalytic removal of aqueous sulfanilamide (SNM) and the corresponding mechanisms were revealed. The Mn-NGO had better performance of SNM degradation and TOC removal than GO and NGO. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation showed that the electrons of d-orbital (Mn) and p-orbital (N) upgraded the electronic structures of GO of the Mn-NGO to interact with amino and aromatic rings of SNM, increasing the adsorption and polarizing of SNM. Furthermore, more hydroxyl and superoxide radicals were observed on Mn-NGO, leading to the generation of key reaction intermediates of 2-aminohydroquinone and benzenesulfonic and thus subsequently opening loops and mineralizing SNM. In addition, Mn-NGO effectively removed SNM in different types of water systems (e.g., lake water, tap water, and deionized water) through synergistic adsorption-photocatalytic degradation.
