Solar energy is the inevitable choice to achieve the low-carbon, green, and circular development of society, and photocatalysis technology is one of the shining pearls. To make full use of the solar spectrum and solve the shortcomings of the recovery difficulty of powdery materials and the loss of activity due to the influence of the external environment, it is possible to construct floating materials using melamine sponges to recover photocatalytic materials quickly. At the same time, floating materials can absorb oxygen in the air for the generation of active groups, effectively solving the problem of less O2 in the water. The carbon-based materials have excellent light absorption properties, high thermal conductivity, and excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and are ideal for constructing floating photothermal photocatalytic systems. As an example, we combined a cheap melamine sponge with urea, prepared a hollow porous network structure g-C3N4 (HPNCN) with a high specific surface area by direct thermal shrinkage method, and then attached the CoO to its surface by hydrothermal method to form a heterojunction with a suitable band gap. Various characterization tests verified the photothermal-photocatalytic properties. Among them, 30% CoO/HPNCN has the best photocatalytic degradation effect on tetracycline (TC), and the removal rate is 88.1%. After five cycles, the removal rate is only 5% lower than the initial, indicating that it has good stability and recyclability. We conducted an active ingredient capture experiment, ESR, and LC-MS analysis to clarify the intermediates and reaction mechanism of TC photocatalytic degradation. On this basis, the ECOSAR program and QSAR method were used to analyze the environmental toxicity of TC and its intermediate products. These results provide a broad prospect for the potential application of the floating photothermal-photocatalysis system in antibiotic pollution control and its application in other fields.
