The AgBr/ZnO hybrid nanophotocatalyst has excellent photocatalytic activity for photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) under sunlight irradiation. The MO degradation efficiency for AgBr/ZnO is about 98% after 1 hour under sunlight irradiation. These results suggested that AgBr/ZnO is a promising candidate for the development of highly efficient sunlight photocatalysts. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism of AgBr/ZnO under sunlight irradiation is illustrated and discussed.展开更多
