Electrochemical heavy metal detection, photocatalytic, photoluminescence, biodiesel production and antibacterial activities of Ag–ZnO nanomaterial

TLDR
In this paper, the results reveal that Ag-ZnO Nps shows the better photocatalytic activity compared to undoped ZnO nps, and also developed sensor which showed a linearity in the concentration range 50-350 nM and limit of detection was found to be 3.5 and 3.8 nM (3σ) for lead and cadmium respectively.
