Morphology Effects on Electro- and Photo-Catalytic Properties of Zinc Oxide Nanostructures.

ABSTRACT: Environmental problems are among the most pressing issues in the modern world, including the shortage of clean drinking water partially caused by contamination from various industries and the excessive emission of CO₂ primarily from the massive use of fossil fuels. Consequently, it is crucial to develop inexpensive, effective, and environmentally friendly methods for wastewater treatment and CO₂ reduction, turning them into useful feedstocks. This study explores a unique method that addresses both challenges by utilizing ZnO, which is recognized as one of the most active semiconductors for photocatalysis, as well as a cost-effective electrocatalyst for the CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR). Specifically, we investigate the influence of the morpholog
