Photocatalytic properties of zinc oxide nanorods grown by different methods

Porous zinc oxide plate with micro- and nanoelements of the surface structure for heterogeneous photocatalysis

“…And our experimental sample had a developed surface. The relative irradiated dye concentration C r was calculated using the formula [4,12]:…”

“…In recent years, among semiconductor materials in heterogeneous photocatalysis increasing attention has been paid to ZnO. It is known that there are zinc oxide photocatalysts in the form of a single crystal [8], arrays of micro-or nanorods on substrates [1,4], nanopowders [9], hierarchical microspheres covered with nanoparticles [10]. However, they either have low photocatalytic activity or are dicult to separate from the solution.…”

Desarrollo de nanoestructuras de ZnO mediante anodizado electroquímico en diferentes condiciones para su aplicación en el área energética

“…So far, several dyes and organic pollutants have been studied for its photoelectrocatalytic degradation using ZnO nanostructures. Some of them are rodhamine B [119][120][121][122][123] methyl orange [71,[124][125][126], methylene blue [88,124,[127][128][129][130][131][132][133][134], congo red [133,135], resazurin [136], thiacloprid [137] and roxarsone [138]. It has been reported that differences in surface characteristics such as morphology and defects influenced photoelectrocatalytic degradation efficiency.…”
