Synthesis of ZnO with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity: A Novel Approach Using Nanocellulose

Synthesis of ZnO with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity: A Novel Approach Using Nanocellulose

Well-crystallized and hexagonal wurtzite ZnO was synthesized with nanocellulose using a facile hydrothermal method. Many highly active (001) facets were retained in the obtained ZnO nanocrystals, presumably due to interaction between the polar facet of ZnO and the nanocellulose. Given its effective...
