Photodegradation of tartrazine dye favored by natural sunlight on pure and (Ce, Ag) co-doped ZnO catalysts
In this work, the synthesis of pure and (Ce, Ag) co-doped ZnO was successfully accomplished using a solvothermal process. The synthesized samples were characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The photocatalytic ability of the samples is...

Tartrazine mineralization was also studied by calculating the degradation of chemical oxygen demand.
