We recently reported that C60 aminofullerenes immobilized on silica support (aminoC60/silica) efficiently produce singlet oxygen (1O2) and inactivate virus and bacteria under visible light irradiation. We herein evaluate this new photocatalyst for oxidative degradation of 11 emerging organic contaminants, including pharmaceuticals such as acetaminophen, carbamazepine, cimetidine, propranolol, ranitidine, sulfisoxazole, and trimethoprim, and endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A and pentachlorophenol. Tetrakis aminoC60/silica degraded pharmaceuticals under visible light irradiation faster than common semiconductor photocatalysts such as platinized WO3 and carbon-doped TiO2. Furthermore, aminoC60/silica exhibited high target-specificity without significant interference by natural organic matter. AminoC60/silica was more efficient than unsupported (water-suspended) C60 aminofullerene. This was …
