Ag/ZnO heterostructure nanocrystals: synthesis, characterization, and photocatalysis.

TL;DR: The photocatalytic property is closely related to its structure, such as heterostructure, oxygen defect, and crystallinity, and the presence of metallic Ag nanoparticles and oxygen vacancy on the surface of ZnO nanorods promotes the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and thus enhances the photocatallytic activity.
