In this work, ZrO2–TiO2 heterojunction photocatalysts were successfully synthesized using sol–gel method. The effect of ZrO2 doped into TiO2 on the retardation of the electron–hole pairs were investigated. The crystalline structure of ZrO2–TiO2 heterojunction photocatalysts was verified through x–ra...
