Flexible Photocatalytic Paper with Cu2O and Ag Nanoparticle-Decorated ZnO Nanorods for Visible Light Photodegradation of Organic Dye

Abstract We report on the fabrication of flexible photocatalytic paper comprised of Cu2O and Ag nanoparticle (NP)-decorated ZnO nanorods (NRs) and its application in visible light photodegradation of organic dye. ZnO NRs are first grown on a kraft paper substrate using a hydrothermal method. The NRs...
