Abstract:TiO2/ZnO heterostructure photocatalysts were successfully fabricated via hydrothermal and solid-state reaction method. In TiO2/ZnO composite powder, TiO2 nanoparticles of anatase phase are well distributed on the surface and edge of ZnO with wurtzite phase structure, and closely combined to form heterostructure. The optical bandgap of TiO2/ZnO powder is less than that of pure ZnO or TiO2 powder. TiO2/ZnO composite powders show higher degradation efficiency for methylene blue and dissolved organic matter.
