Photocatalytic oxidation of pharmaceuticals on thin nanostructured Zinc Oxide films

The photocatalytic activity of thin ZnO films in the photocatalytic oxidation of the pharmaceuticals, paracetamol and chloramphenicol (Levomycetin) is reported. The films annealed at 500°C exhibit the highest activity. They have a wurtzite-like structure and consist of conducting branches, which are...

Description
Summary:The photocatalytic activity of thin ZnO films in the photocatalytic oxidation of the pharmaceuticals, paracetamol and chloramphenicol (Levomycetin) is reported. The films annealed at 500°C exhibit the highest activity. They have a wurtzite-like structure and consist of conducting branches, which are the spinodal decomposition products.
