Highly Branched Sn-Doped ZnO Nanostructures for Sunlight Driven Photocatalytic Reactions

الملخص EN

Ultralong, highly branched Sn-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were fabricated using a simple substrate-free chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method.

The nanostructures exhibited efficient photocatalytic activities in degradation of methylene blue (MB) under natural sunlight.

100% of MB with the concentration of 10 mg/L could be completely removed within 36 minutes.

Possible reasons for the enhanced photocatalytic effect were analyzed.
