A Comparative Study of Gold Impregnation Methods for Obtaining Metal/Semiconductor Nanophotocatalysts: Direct Turkevich, Inverse Turkevich, and Progressive Heating Methods

A Comparative Study of Gold Impregnation Methods for Obtaining Metal/Semiconductor Nanophotocatalysts: Direct Turkevich, Inverse Turkevich, and Progressive Heating Methods

ZnO nanostructures decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were synthesized by thermal decomposition of ZnO2 powders and their subsequent impregnation of metal nanoparticles using either the Direct Turkevich Method, the Inverse Turkevich Method, or the Progressive Heating Method. It was found tha...
