Photocatalytic ZnO films prepared by anodizing

Spray drying assisted assembly of ZnO nanocrystals using cellulose as sacrificial template and studies on their photoluminescent and photocatalytic properties

“…On the other hand, with the decrease of the crystal size the distance of photo-generated electrons and holes moving from internal to the surface is shorten, thus promote the process of photo degradation. Third, it is well-known that the crystal morphologies play also important role on the photocatalytic performance of ZnO nanocrystals since the photocatalytic activity is strongly depends on some specific exposed crystal faces [49,50]. However, such a specific crystal faces is still open questions to answer.…”

Electrodeposited Copper Oxide and Zinc Oxide Core-Shell Nanowire Photovoltaic Cells

“…This forms brass, not a diode. In the case of wet oxidation, the reaction can occur spontaneously (Tam and Robinson 1986) or can be driven electrically in a process known as anodization (Yamaguchi, Yamazaki et al 1998). These processes have the advantage of taking place at low temperatures.…”

Degradation of Cibacron Red Dye using ZnO as a Catalyst Coated on the Surface of the Glass in the Photocatalytic Process

“…The sol-gel process and the utilization of dip coating technique are two of the versatile strategies to prepare thin films of particles. ZnO thin film are prepared by different techniques such as metal organic vapour deposition thermal evaporation, oxidation and anodization [12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
