Abstract

Hydrothermal method in presence of different concentration of glycine as surfactant was used to prepare zinc oxide nanoparticles. Different techniques were used to describe the prepared nanocomposites. This reveals that the concentration of glycine acting significant role in zinc oxide band gap. The zinc oxide nanoparticles photocatalytic performances were studied by measuring degradation of methylene blue under UV light. Photocatalytic parameters such as the concentration of glycine, photocatalyst dose of zinc oxide which prepared by 6 mmol of glycine (ZnO-6G) were studied.
