Abstract

The different wt % of Zr-codoped Ag-ZnO catalysts were prepared by the simple precipitation-thermal decomposition method and used for degradation of anionic azo dye Reactive Red 120 (RR 120) under natural sunlight. Highly efficient 4 wt % of Zr-codoped Ag-ZnO was characterized by X-ray diffraction ...
