In this paper, ZnO heterojunction with Ag2CO3/Ag2O mixed phase was synthesized by precipitation and phase transformation routes. The synthesized photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET specific surface area, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission...
