摘要: Abstract Binary and ternary SnO 2 –ZnO–ZnWO 4 nanocomposites were prepared by a sol–gel route. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated through decomposition 4-nitrophenol partial oxidation 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol to p -anisaldehyde. All mixed catalysts revealed higher photoactivity than bare ZnO, or ZnWO best performances exhibited binary nanocomposites. high explained presence heterojunctions among different semiconductors that enhance separation photogenerated electron–hole pairs, hindering their recombination. As general consideration, an essential role played electronic features in degradation reactions whereas surface properties key factors for selective formation
