Facile synthesis of robust Ag/ZnO composites by sol–gel autocombustion and ion-impregnation for the photocatalytic degradation of sucrose

Abstract Metallic Ag nanoparticles decorated on ZnO photocatalysts were prepared by facile sol–gel autocombustion followed by ion-impregnation. Electron microscopy studies revealed the presence of impregnated Ag as nanoparticles on ZnO surfaces, which affected the microstructure of ZnO particles. XR...
