Characteristics and Performance of Nanozinc Oxide/Mesoporous Silica Gel Photocatalytic Composite Prepared by a Sol-Gel Method

Nano-ZnO loaded mesoporous SiO2 was prepared by sol-gel technology as a photocatalytic composite. XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, and N2 sorption isotherms were used to characterize the nano-ZnO/mesoporous SiO2. Acid Red 18 was used as simulated pollutant to determine the photocatalytic performance of nano-ZnO/...
