Employed Silver Doping to Improved Photocatalytic Properties of ZnO Micro/Nanostructures

Ultrasound‐Assisted Green Synthesis of Ag‐Decorated ZnO Nanoparticles UsingExcoecaria agallochaLeaf Extract and Evaluation of Their Photocatalytic and Biological Activity

“…For one thing Ag metal can work as electron scavenging center to allow effective electron hole pair separation, leading to improved photocatalytic activity. For another, the incident of light with wavelength in certain region will be extensively absorbed by Ag metal nanoparticles due to the surface Plasmon absorption (SPA) effect, thus the corresponding photo responding range extended and consequently improve the catalytic performance [56–57] …”

Insights into ZnO-based doped porous nanocrystal frameworks

“…144 The electron capturing properties of Ag in Ag–ZnO resulted due to the establishment of the Ag/ZnO Fermi level between the CB and Fermi level of pure ZnO, which is known as a Schottky junction (more negative Fermi level potential for Ag–ZnO than bare ZnO). 145,146…”

Synthesis of Ni–Ag–ZnO solid solution nanoparticles for photoreduction and antimicrobial applications

“…The emission peak at 394 nm can be attributed to excitonic recombination from the localized state below CB to the VB, 44 while the peak at 470 nm belongs to the deep level blue-green emission peak due to transition between zinc interstitials and photoinduced holes. be attributed to enhanced charge recombination due to Ag aggregates and acting as recombination center 46 and shi in peak could be due to sp-d interaction of Ni 2+ and band electrons. 47,48 Fig.…”
