| Popis: | In present study, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructure anchored on carbon fabric (CF) was prepared using a combinational techniques of RF magnetron sputtering and hydrothermal method. The sputter seeded CF aided for the circumferential growth of ZnO nanostructure and its structural and optical characterization evidencing the c-axis orientation with the band gap of, 3.21 eV. ZnO nanostructure anchored CF was subjected towards UV light photocatalytic activity of p-nitrophenol for 150 min and remarkably higher activity of 98% was observed with better retrieval and recyclability upto 5 cycles. Because of these conspicuous features, it can serve as an expedient hybrid platform for photocatalytic application, better than the benchmark acid treated ZnO/CF. |
