Phenol is a stable and hazardous compound that is commonly found as an industrial effluent. Phenol can be treated by photocatalysis using zinc oxide (ZnO) as a photocatalyst. Unfortunately, the use of ZnO in photocatalysis is limited due to the poor response to the visible light. On the other hand,...
