Enhancement of Photocatalytic Activity of ZnO/SiO2 by Nanosized Pt for Photocatalytic Degradation of Phenol in Wastewater

ZnO-SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol-gel technique from Zn(NO3)2⋅6H2O and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The synthesized samples were further modified by nanosized Pt from H2PtCl6 solution through photoassisted deposition (PAD) and impregnation (Img) routes. The obtained samples were...
