Defect-Mediated Charge Transfer in Y–Cd-Codoped ZnO: Enhanced Hydroxyl Radical Generation and Solar Photocatalytic Carbaryl Degradation
In this study, yttrium–cadmium codoped ZnO (YCdZnO) photocatalysts were synthesized and investigated for the sunlight-excited photocatalytic degradation of carbaryl (CBR). The photocatalytic degradation assays showed a pseudo-first-order degradation rate constant of 12.38 × 10–3 min–1, approximately 2.08 times that of...
