Improved photocatalytic performance of ZnO through AgCu bimetal coupling for the photodegradation of nitrobenzene

A ZnO semiconductor with bimetals (Ag and Cu) coupled in the matrix was successfully prepared using a microwave irradiation technique under a very low synthetic temperature and power of 120ºC and 240 W, respectively. The phase, structural, morphological, and elemental compositions of the synthesized...
