In this study, PES-ZnO (Polyethersulphone-Zinc Oxide PZ) photocatalyst sheets were prepared via the phase inversion method and used in the oxidative degradation of paracetamol, a commonly detected pharmaceutical in water matrices. The incorporation of ZnO in the polymer matrix, confirmed by X-ray Di...
