A novel synthesis of Ag@ZnO yolk-shell and ZnO hollow sphere nanostructures and comparison of their photocatalytic performances

Research progress of yolk–shell structured nanoparticles and their application in catalysis

“…YSNs can also be used as photocatalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants in water, such as dyes, 63–75 pesticides 76 and antibiotics. 77,78 For example, Wang et al reported the preparation of Fe 3 O 4 @ns-TiO 2 /Ag/g-C 3 N 4 YSNs which exhibited superior photocatalytic performance for degradation of methyl orange.…”

Microwave-assisted synthesis of Ag/ZnO nanoparticles usingAverrhoa carambolafruit extract as the reducing agent and their application in cotton fabrics with antibacterial and UV-protection properties

“…Ag-doping of nanoparticles alters the optical and electrical properties of the material, which has an impact on the UV protection property of the material. 18 ZnO nanoparticles are generally synthesized using various chemical and physical processes, such as microwave-assisted method, hydrothermal method, co-precipitation, electrochemical technique, ultrasonic approach, and sol-gel procedures. [19][20][21][22][23][24] However, most of these processes involve the use of toxic chemicals and solvents that prove to be detrimental to both human health and the environment.…”
