Ce-ZnO/Fe₂O₃ Heterostructure Photocatalytic Performance Data for Antibiotic Degradation

A dataset from figshare by Luu Thi Viet Ha, last updated in May 2026. It contains experimental results for the photocatalytic degradation of the antibiotic Lev using a Ce-doped ZnO/Fe₂O₃ heterostructure. The data includes performance metrics, such as a 94.72% degradation efficiency achieved in 150 minutes under visible light for an optimized sample.

Use Cases

• Modeling photocatalytic degradation kinetics based on the pseudo-first-order reaction model described.
• Analyzing the effect of Ce-ZnO/Fe₂O₃ mass ratio on catalytic performance based on the described optimization.
• Studying the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) like •O₂⁻ and h⁺ in pollutant degradation based on the radical-scavenging assays mentioned.

Strengths

• Specific performance metric reported: 94.72% degradation of Lev in 150 minutes.
• Detailed synthesis and characterization methodology described, including XPS and PL analyses.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small at 6.7 MB, potentially limiting the scope of analysis.
