Novel fabrication of photoactive CuO/HY Zeolite as an efficient catalyst for photodecolorization of malachite green

Copper oxide loaded on HY zeolite (CuO/HY) catalyst was prepared via a facile electrochemical method, and its photoactivity was evaluated by the decolorization of malachite green (MG) under fluorescent light irradiation. The physicochemical properties of catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffrac...
