In this paper, we report the synthesis of tellurium (Te) doped ZnO nanocrystals for photocatalytic applications. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transforms infrared, photoluminescence and field emission scanning electron microscope are the techniques employed to characterize the properties of the prepared products. The photocatalytic activities of the undoped and doped ZnO are analyzed by the degradation of brilliant green (BG). The results of the degradation reveal that ZnO doped with Te has higher photocatalytic performance than undoped ZnO.
