[ 1 ] - Synthesis, characterization and investigation of optical and photocatalytic properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles in three different rod, spherical and sheet morphologies

In the present study, zinc oxide nanoparticles in three different forms (spherical, rod and sheet) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), filed emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), EDX elemental analysis and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic properties were investigated using congo red (CR) degradation unde...
