- The Scientists have developed an efficient photocatalyst that can degrade in sulfamethoxazole.
- It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic to less hazardous chemicals and reduce health and environmental concerns associated with antibiotic contamination.
- The Antibiotic contamination has several adverse effects, including the antibiotic resistance, ecological impact, human health concerns, etc.
- The Scientists have synthesized copper zinc tin sulfide Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanoparticles (NPs) and copper zinc tin sulfide - tungsten disulfide CZTS-WS2 composite.
- Broad-spectrum antibiotics like sulfamethoxazole (SMX) have long been used to treat human illnesses like urinary and respiratory tract infections.
- However, more than 54 % of SMX was released into the environment along with the faeces and urine of the patients.
