“…Thus, Ag/ZnO nanocomposites with different structures and morphologies have been prepared by different methods, such as Ag/tetrapod-like ZnO whisker nanocompounds [15], Ag nanoparticles/ZnO nanorods (Ag NPs/ZnO NRs) [16], Ag/ZnO nanofibers [17], Ag nanoparticlesstabilized ZnO nanosheets [27]. Besides, Ag NPs/ZnO NRs arrays have also been synthesized by electrodeposition and photocatalytic method [28,29]. Apart from all these Ag/ZnO nanocomposites, ZnO/Ag core/shell nanostructures have been derived from varies routes and their extraordinary properties have been investigated in detail [30,31].…”
