The precursor-calcination approach was employed to fabricate ZnAl@layered double oxides (LDOs) with dual functionality with adsorption and photocatalysis. The effect of bimetallic ratios and calcination temperatures on the adsorption-photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) was systematically investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicated that a molar ratio of 2∶1 for Zn to Al and a calcination temperature of 400 ℃ resulted in Zn₂Al₁@LDO₄₀₀ with outstanding adsorption-photocatalytic activity. Moreover, adsorption studies revealed that Zn₂Al₁@LDO₄₀₀ displayed the chemisorption-limited heterogeneous monolayer adsorption for TC, with higher temperatures promoting the adsorption process. Simultaneously, the collaborative degradation of TC by photogenerated holes (h⁺), hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and superoxide radicals (·O₂^-) was confirmed through free radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests.
