Abstract:Ag-loaded ZnO nanocomposite film photocatalysts were
constructed
by physical vapor deposition and thermal oxidation. The relationship
between the surface morphology, optical properties, photoelectric
properties, and photocatalytic activity of nanocomposite films were
mainly investigated. The surface morphology of nanocomposite films
exhibits a thickness dependence of the Zn layer, which can be acknowledged
by the SEM image. Furthermore, under the surface plasmon resonance
(SPR) effect of Ag particles, the nano… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
