Wurtzite-Type Catalysts

ZnO with wurtzite-type structure is a good photocatalyst [54,55], besides in combination with Cu, it is used as a reforming catalyst [56], As a photocatalyst, ZnO is efficient for the photodecomposition of organic compounds, but in comparison with Ti02, ZnO

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a versatile catalyst that crystallizes to the wurtzite-type structure [54-56], In the structure of ZnO, each one of the zinc and oxygen ions is tetrahedrally coordinated. To be precise, in the wurtzite-type structure, a HCP framework of O2- anions is formed, where half, 1/2, of the 12 tetrahedral sites present in the HCP structure (see Figure 2.15) are occupied by Zn2+ cations [52],...
