Synthesis of supported silver nano-spheres on zinc oxide nanorods for visible light photocatalytic applications (2015, background): “ZnO nanostructures are technologically important material and are used in a wide range of applications such as catalysis, photocatalysis, gas sensors and other industrial applications [5–9].”
Core/shell structured ZnO/SiO2 nanoparticles: Preparation, characterization and photocatalytic property (2010, background): “Recently, much effort has been devoted to study ZnO as very promising photocatalyst for photocatalytic degradation f water pollutants, owing to its high activity, low cost and nvironmentally friendly feature [1–4].”
Comparison of TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and the correlated inactivation of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (2013, background): “…been extensively studied for the removal of organic compounds from contaminated air and water and for microbial disinfection (Hoffmann et al. 1995; Byrne et al. 1998; Gaswami et al. 1997; Wei et al. 1994; Muggli and Ding 2001; Fu et al. 2005; Maness et al. 1999; Adams et al. 2006; Hariharan 2006).”
The Applications of Morphology Controlled ZnO in Catalysis (2016, neutral): “Apart from thermo-catalytic reactions, morphology controlled ZnO has also been widely used for environmental pollutant mineralization, degradation and water splitting to hydrogen due to its large band gap and low cost of fabrication [150].”
One-dimensional ZnO nanostructures: Solution growth and functional properties (2011, background): “In addition, with a larger band gap energy, the photogenerated electron and hole pairs will be less likely to recombine, which in turn enhances the charge transfer efficiency between the catalyst and the pollutants [310].”
