Jj. Liu et al., STUDIES ON PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF ZINC FERRITE CATALYSTS SYNTHESIZED BY SHOCK-WAVES, Materials research bulletin, 31(9), 1996, pp. 1049-1056
The photocatalytic activity in the photodehydrogenation of H2S of zinc
ferrites synthesized by shock wave loading is investigated and compar
ed with that of zinc ferrites prepared by calcination. It is shown tha
t photocatalytic activity of zinc ferrites prepared by shock wave trea
tment is much higher and that this activity increases with the increas
e of shock wave pressure. XRD, TEM, and electron diffraction methods w
ere used to characterize the catalysts. Possible reasons for the enhan
cement of photocatalytic activity are discussed.
