What is it about?

Organic pollutant discharged by the textile industries arebecoming severe threat to the biological environment. To dealwith these organic pollutants, solar energy driven photocatalysishas been studied intensively (14) (PDF) One-step hydrothermal synthesis of ZnO microtubes with an efficient photocatalytic activity.

Why is it important?

Moreover, photocorrosion of ZnO was inhibitedto a large extent after three cycles. Because of environmentallybenign and abundant advantages, our synthesized ZnO micro-tubes can be applied for the practical application of dye-wastewater treatment.

Perspectives

Herein, we presented a simple and non-toxic route to obtainZnO microtubes by hydrothermal reaction. Under UV lightirradiation (λ≤420 nm) for 20 min, the as-obtained ZnOmicrotubes exhibit higher photocatalytic efficiency (95%) todegrade MB
