Blue Photodegradation under Visible Irradiation
Thumbnail Resumen

We synthesized and characterized both Co-doped ZnO (ZnO:Co) and

Cu-doped ZnO (ZnO:Cu) thin films. The catalysts’ synthesis was carried

indicated that the catalysts were polycrystalline and demonstrated the
presence of a ZnO wurtzite crystalline phase. The SEM analysis showed
that the morphological properties changed significantly, the micro-
aggregates disappeared, and agglomeration was reduced after
modification of ZnO. The ZnO optical bandgap (3.22 eV) reduced
after the doping process, these being ZnO:Co (2.39 eV) and ZnO:Co
(3.01 eV). Finally, the kinetic results of methylene blue
photodegradation reached 62.6% for ZnO:Co thin films and 42.5% for
ZnO:Cu thin films.
