Zinc oxide/carbon nanotubes nanocomposite: Synthesis, characterization and catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol via laser assistant method

ZnO nanoparticles and their decoration on the CNTs with different concentrations were well-prepared by pulsed laser ablation method in liquid environment in just one step for removal 4-nitrophenol. The changing of the generated nanostructured materials was based on the surrounding medium: ultra-pure water and the functionalized CNTs solution, while the concentration amounts of the generated ZnO nanoparticles were controlled via irradiated laser...
