Abstract
occurred, resulting in electron-hole separation as indicated by photoluminescence and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The obtained Ru-Zn-ICP revealed enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity in degradation of organic pollutants compared to pristine Zn-ICP owing to photoinduced electron transfer in the Ru-Zn-ICP system and efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The prepared Ru-Zn-ICP photocatalyst was readily recycled without major loss of activity in the successive cycles.
