[0002] With the acceleration of the global industrialization process, there are more and more organic substances in water, leading to the deterioration of water environment quality, endangering the survival of aquatic organisms, and threatening the health of humans and livestock due to water pollution. In industry, methods for removing organic substances include adsorption method, biochemical method, coagulation sedimentation method, and photocatalytic degradation method. The photocatalytic degradation method originated in 1972 and is a new sewage treatment method developed in the past 30 years. Since the end of the 1970s, a large number of studies on the photocatalytic degradation treatment of various pollutant wastewaters have been reported. For example, CN115350702A discloses a high-efficiency photocatalyst mullite-type bismuth manganate, a preparation method thereof, and an application.

Currently, it has gradually become an important method for treating organic pollution. How to prepare photocatalytic materials with stable structure, simple process and strong degradation ability is the core and focus of current photocatalytic technology research.

[0007] During the experiment, by controlling the proportion of the solvent in the microwave reaction and adding polyvinylpyrrolidone, highly dispersed nano-spherical structure β-MnO2 was synthesized, and its particle size could be uniformly controlled between 50 - 100 nanometers. Using tert-butanol as the solvent, microwave reaction was used to control the production of CeO2 micro-nano sheets coated on the outside of nano-spherical manganese dioxide;
