Photodecolorization of dyes using heterogeneous catalyst is an important process in wastewater treatment. In this study, an electrochemical method was used to load zinc oxide and copper oxide onto mesostructured silica nanoparticles (CuO-ZnO/MSN). The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffrac...
