The coupled WO3-AgBr nanocatalyst, part II: Synthesis, characterization, and the boosted photocatalytic activity towards metronidazole in an aqueous solution
The AgBr and WO3 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and coupled, and the coupled AgBr-WO3 binary catalyst, as well as the individual AgBr and WO3 NPs, were then characterized by XRD, FTIR, DRS, and SEM-EDX. XRD results showed the formation of orthorhombic WO3 cubic AgBr crystals. The crystallite s...
