Developing highly active photocatalysts: Gold-loaded ZnO for solar phenol oxidation

Gold nanoparticles were loaded on ZnO materials by a double impregnation method. Materials were characterized by spectroscopic, microscopic and N-2 adsorption techniques, and tested on the photocatalytic oxidation of phenol in aqueous solutions, under simulated solar light. Compared with bare ZnO, t...
