Synthesis of mesoporous nanoparticles via microwave-assisted method for photocatalytic degradation of phenol derivatives

Mesoporous transition metal oxides have gained attention widely since they possess both optical and electronic properties of transition metal oxides especially for photocatalytic degradation application. In this research work, mesoporous titania nanoparticles (MTN) and mesoporous zinc oxide nanopart...
