The Synthesis and Photocatalytic Properties of ZnO-SnO₂ Nanorods Using Bamboo Charcoal as the Template

Abstract:

The ZnO-SnO₂ nanorods were prepared successfully by wet chemical method and bamboo charcoal as the template. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) results showed that the ZnO-SnO₂ nanorods prepared at 700°C were uniform with the diameters of about 55 nm and the lengths of about 160 nm. The photocatalytic activity was studied while the methylene blue was used as the organic pollutant. The results indicate that the degradation rate of the methylene blue by the ZnO-SnO₂ nanorods was about 89%, twice higher than that of the pure ZnO nanomaterials.
