The widespread contamination of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and dyes is a growing concern. necessitating the development of convenient and effective technologies for their removal. Copper(I) phenylacetylide (PhC2 Cu) has emerged as a promising photocatalyst for environmental remediation. In this study, we introduced a functional Cu-O bond into PhC2 Cu (referred to as OrPhC2 Cu) by creatively converting the adsorbed oxygen on the surface of PhC2 Cu into a Cu-O bond to enhance the efficiency of Cr(VI) photoreduction, PPCPs photodegradation, and dyes photodegradation through a facile vacuum activating method...
