Abstract

The hollow nano-baskets (HNBs) of zinc oxide (ZnO) are synthesized by a simple low temperature solution method and used for the degradation of rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) dye. Well-defined hollow nano-baskets morphology of ZnO is observed which displays a band gap of ~3.26 eV. The result of photocatalytic degradation reveals that the synthesized ZnO-HNBs exhibits a rapid degradation rate of ~97% of Rh6G-dye within ~90min. The mineralization of Rh6G-dye is examined before and after the photocatalytic reaction by a mass spectroscopy of the dye. The rapid and high degradation of Rh6G-dye might be attributed to ZnO hollow nanostructures which significantly improves the catalyst contact with dye by the inner and external surface of ZnO.
