Abstract: A novel hollow capsule-like recyclable functional ZnO/C/Fe3O4 was synthesized by employing the convenient and mild sol-gel method combined with the surface imprinting technique, which possessed good light response ability, superior magnetic separation performance and excellent reproducibility. This as-prepared functional ZnO/C/Fe3O4 was proved to not only exhibit high photocatalytic activity but also possess a strong three-dimensional oriented ability to selectively recognize and photodegrade danofloxacin mesylate. Through getting insight into the mechanism, we can confirm that in this photocatalytic reaction, H+ and ·OH play major roles compared with ·O2-. This work not only puts forward a novel design idea of functional semiconductor materials but also is expected to be widely applied to the oriented recognition and removal of a target substance according to the practical requirement
