Mass preparation and novel visible light photocatalytic activity of C and Ag Co-modified ZnO nanocrystals

A combustion method was developed to mass synthesize the C and Ag co-modified ZnO NCs. The degradation rate of product under visible light increased by 1233.3% compared with pure ZnO NCs. The synergistic effect of C and Ag elements was proposed to explain the mechanism of enhanced photocatalytic performance.52
