In this study, the ZnO/Ag2CO3/Ag2O photocatalyst had been successfully fabricated via the facile two-step synthesis method, which included the heterojunction of Ag2CO3 on ZnO, followed by the in-situ phase transformation method of Ag2CO3/Ag2O. The phase transformation from Ag2CO3 to Ag2O over ZnO su...
