Synthesis of Ag/ZnO-AC composite photocatalyst: spectroscopic investigation, parameter optimization, synergistic effect and performance enhancement for cost-effective photocatalytic degradation of phenols and dyes
A ternary photocatalyst composite-Silver decorated on ZnO supported with activated carbon (Ag/ZnO-AC) was investigated for the synthesis, characterization and UV assisted photocatalytic degradation of phenols and dyes present in wastewater. XPS and TEM revealed the elemental composition and formatio...
