Kinetics and Catalysis Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The photocatalytic activity of thin ZnO films in the photocatalytic oxidation of the pharmaceuticals, paracetamol and chloramphenicol (Levomycetin) is reported. The films annealed at 500°C exhibit the highest activity. They have a wurtzite-like structure and consist of conducting branches, which are the spinodal decomposition products.
