Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The photoreduction of Cu2+ at the surface of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnO/Ag nanostructures was investigated. The spectral characteristics of the obtained ZnO/Cu and ZnO/Ag/Cu composites were studied in relation to the reaction conditions. It was shown that the ZnO/Ag nanoparticles have higher photocatalytic activity in the reduction of Cu2+ ions than the individual ZnO particles.
