The photocatalytic activity of this heterojunction was examined by degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under UV light irradiation. The results indicated that the p-Si(100)/n-ZnO nanorods heterojunction exhibits higher photocatalytic activity compared to that of a glass/n-ZnO nanorods. The inner electric field created by the space charge region of heterojunction will oppose the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Furthermore, this heterojunction serves as a convenient recyclable and effective photocatalyst. The photodecomposition rate of RhB after 5 cycles is negligible change in an experiment using this heterojunction. publisher: Elsevier date: 2018 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: https://eprints.uet.vnu.edu.vn/eprints/id/eprint/3322/1/Materials%20Chemistry%20and%20physics-2017.pdf identifier: Nguyen, Thi Hoa and Vuong, Van Cuong and Nguyen, Dinh Lam (2018) Mechanism of the photocatalytic activity of p-Si(100)/n-ZnO nanorods heterojunction.
