Synthesis, Characterization and Photocatalytic Performance of Calcined ZnCr-Layered Double Hydroxides

The development of new materials for performing photocatalytic processes to remove contaminants is an interesting and important research line due to the ever-increasing number of contaminants on our planet. In this sense, we developed a layered double hydroxide material based on Zn and Cr, which was...
