Fabrication and Photocatalytic Performance of Ag/ZnO

Article Preview

Abstract:

It has been found that the photocatalytic activity of ZnO toward the decolorization of Methyl Orange solution can be greatly improved by loading Ag on the surface of ZnO using a photodeposition method. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), respectively. 0.5%Ag/ZnO demonstrates 2.13 times the photocatalytic activity of pure ZnO.
