Abstract:Two different hydrotalcites Zn/Al and Zn/Al−Co were prepared for the photodegradation of phenol under UV radiation. These materials were synthesized using the co‐precipitation method and characterized through powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), UV‐vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and nitrogen physisorption. The physicochemical characterization results indicated that Zn/Al−Co, which incorporates cobalt atoms, did not affect the hydrotalcite structure (layered double hydro… Show more
