Photocatalytic activity of ZnO doped with Ag on the degradation of endocrine disrupting under UV irradiation and the investigation of its antibacterial activity

- A series of Ag-doped ZnO were synthesized via hydrothermal method.
- Effect of doping with silver on the textural, structural optical properties of ZnO.
- The photocatalytic activity has been tested using bisphenol A and nonylphenol.
- The highest degradation efficiency was obtained with 1% Ag.
- Ag doping enhances the photocatalytic and antibacterial activities of ZnO.
