An Au-TiO₂ photoanode on carbon cloth has been synthesized by microwave-assisted sol-gel method to treat paracetamol solutions at pH 3.0 by photocatalysis (PC), electro-oxidation (EO), photoelectrocatalysis with UVA light (PEC), solar PEC (SPEC) and hybrid methods with photoelectro-Fenton under UVA (PEC + PEF) and sunlight (SPEC + SPEF) irradiation at constant anodic potential (E_an). The photoanode has been characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, HRTEM and SEM-EDS. The counter electrode was a 316L stainless steel plate, which was replaced by an air-diffusion electrode for H₂O₂ generation in hybrid treatments. The most powerful process was SPEC + SPEF, yielding total paracetamol removal in <30 min and 24% mineralization after 180 min, at E_an = +0.82 V. The paracetamol decay followed a pseudo-first-order kinetics in PEC. A lower rate constant was obtained upon increase of pharmaceutical concentration, showing good linear fit using a Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.

通过微波辅助溶胶-凝胶法合成了碳布上的Au-TiO _2光阳极，通过光催化（PC），电氧化（EO），UVA光（PEC），太阳能PEC对pH为3.0的扑热息痛溶液进行处理。 （SPEC）和在紫外光（PEC + PEF）和日光（SPEC + SPEF）照射下在恒定阳极电势（E _an）下用光电Fenton混合的方法。通过XRD，拉曼光谱，HRTEM和SEM-EDS对光电阳极进行了表征。对电极是316L不锈钢板，由用于H ₂ O ₂的空气扩散电极代替混合疗法的一代。最有效的过程是SPEC + SPEF，在E _an  = +0.82 V时，在<30分钟内去除了全部扑热息痛，并在180分钟后矿化了24％。扑热息痛的降解遵循PEC中的拟一级动力学。当药物浓度增加时，获得较低的速率常数，使用Langmuir-Hinshelwood模型显示出良好的线性拟合。
