The Characterization / Photoreduction of Ternary Pt/AgI/ZnO Nanocomposites: A review

Abstract

Since photo-catalysis uses light energy to drive chemical processes, it is commonly considered a green technology to help us handle the more pressing environmental and energy issues facing human society. Enhancing the properties of photocatalysts has been a major focus of research and development up to now. Thanks to their remarkable stability and strong catalytic performance, noble metal–ZnO nanocomposites are garnering a lot of interest as potential candidates for catalytic applications in the future.

Since photo-catalysis uses light energy to drive chemical processes, it is commonly considered a green technology to help us handle the more pressing environmental and energy issues facing human society. Enhancing the properties of photocatalysts has been a major focus of research and development up to now. Thanks to their remarkable stability and strong catalytic performance, noble metal–ZnO nanocomposites are garnering a lot of interest as potential candidates for catalytic applications in the future.

This research focuses on photosynthesis-inspired studies that tackle global, environmental, and sociological issues such as sustainable agriculture, maintaining the balance of ecosystems, and producing clean energy. This review study presents a thorough explanation of this new class of nanostructures and emphasizes its potential applications across multiple fields, with the goal of encouraging researchers to integrate, investigate, and use multiple new ternary systems.
