Copper–zinc oxide heterojunction catalysts exhibiting enhanced photocatalytic activity prepared by a hybrid deposition method

O deposition thereby facilitating the oxidation of the dye. The results imply the possibility of judiciously aligning band edges on structurally controlled and well-connected low-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures using combined two-step synthesis techniques, where in particular vacuum-based techniques such as AGD allow for growth of well-connected nanocrystals with well developed heterojunction interfaces.
