Abstract

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the potential semiconductors for photocatalytic applications. However, ZnO has a high recombination rate between electrons and holes, which reduces the efficiency of its photocatalytic activity. Thus, a nanohybrid structure between ZnO and a noble metal, such as Ag, has be...
