Photodegradation of HMX and RDX in the Presence of Nanocatalyst of Zinc Sulfide Doped with Copper

Nanoparticles of zinc sulfide as undoped and doped with copper were used as photocatalyst in the photodegradation of HMX (octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine) and RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) as nitramine explosives under UV and Vis irradiations. Photoreactivity of dope...
