Due to its toxicity, 4-chlorophenol (4CP) must be removed from the wastewater before discharging into open water. In this work, ZnO and Ag-ZnO photocatalysts were prepared via a solvothermal method under mild conditions (150 °C), followed by calcination at 300 °C then characterized. The addition of Ag resulted in change morphologies, which exhibited wurtzite structure, irregular rod-like shape,...
