Abstract

Nano-ZnO photocatalysts were synthesized by hydrothermal method,doping with Ag.The structure,morphology and composition of the samples were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).The as-prepared samples were used for photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) solution experiment.The results shown that ZnO was a hexagonal wurtzite structure in all samples,and Ag was a face-centered cubic structure.The agglomeration was serious for pure nano-ZnO sample.The as-prepared Ag/ZnO samples with Ag+ concentration of 2%,5%,and 10% had good dispersibility.Within a certain range of Ag+ doping concentration,the photodegradation rate of samples increased with the increase of Ag+ concentration,and the sample with Ag+ concentration of 5% had the highest photodegradation rate.But excessive Ag+ concentration will reduce the photodegradation rate of the samples.The experiment suggested that the photodegradation rate of samples was related with their surface morphology and structures.
