| Özet |
| A simple strategy was presented to convert a possibly problematic and harmful solid waste into a sustainable and feasible value-added product. In this regard, novel self-carbon-doped ZnO (C-ZnO) photocatalysts containing both unground cigarette filters (CF) and ground cigarette filters (CFG) as carbon sources and templates were successfully synthesized for the first time. A series of C-ZnO photocatalysts containing three different amounts of CF and CFG were obtained by a facile one-step precipitation method. Comprehensive characterization of C-ZnO photocatalysts was realized via FTIR, Raman, XRD, SEM-EDAX, TGA, BET, and PL analysis techniques. While the grinding process did not affect the structural and crystallite properties of the templates, differences were observed in CF and CFG morphology. The crystallite sizes of C-ZnO photocatalysts differed depending on the CF and CFG amounts used as ... |
