dc.description.abstractHerein, TiO2 single-tube (TiO2 ST-NT) powders with and without magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles (TiO2 ST-NT@Fe(3)O(4)NPs) are presented for the first time as excellent photocatalysts for the degradation of one of the most popular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), naproxen (NPX). The TiO2 ST-NT powders were synthesized by anodization followed by etching of the double wall, bending, sonication, ultra-centrifugation, and finally annealing at 600 degrees C. A part of the obtained TiO2 ST-NT powders was decorated with Fe3O4 nanoparticles using a simple one-step decoration process. The best photocatalytic performance of TiO2 ST-NT and TiO2 ST-NT@Fe(3)O(4)NPs powders was obtained under the white light (6.2 x 10(-4) s(-1)) and the blue light (2.7 x 10(-4) s(-1)), respectively. During NPX photodegradation using TiO2 ST-NT powders, three main NPX transformation products (P1, P2, and P3) were detected. Upon excitation with the blue light illumination, TiO2 ST-NT@ Fe(3)O(4)NPs powders exhibited higher performance (similar to 80%) than TiO2 ST-NT powders (similar to 23%) within 1 h, resulting in an approximately three times increased photocatalytic rate constant. Moreover, under simulated sunlight conditions, TiO2 ST-NT powders demonstrated remarkable activity, achieving a 94% NPX degradation within 1 h. TiO2 ST-NT and TiO2 ST-NT@Fe(3)O(4)NPs powders represent excellent photocatalysts for NPX degradation.en
