ZnO nanorod optical disk photocatalytic reactor for photodegradation of methyl orange

Opt Express. 2013 Mar 25;21(6):7240-9. doi: 10.1364/OE.21.007240.

Abstract

A low-cost and efficient photocatalytic reactor for environmental treatment and green technology was presented. ZnO nanorods firmly growing on polycarbonate optical disk substrate are generally perpendicular to the substrate as the immobilized photocatalyst of the spinning disk reactor. The photocatalytic efficiency and durability of the ZnO nanorods are effectively demonstrated.
