Formation of surface defects by thermal shock method for the improved photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles

Surface-modified ZnO photocatalysts with enhanced UVA-light-driven and visible-light-driven activities were synthesized by the thermal shock method with Cu(NO3)2 at different thermal shock temperatures (300 – 600°C). The influences of thermal shock temperatures on the crystal structure, morphology,...
