Air Flow Assisted One Step Synthesis of Porous Carbon with Selected Area Enriched Ag/ZnO Nanocomposites

With the aid of air flow, porous carbon with selective region elemental enrichment was synthesized, for the first time, through a facile one step strategy. As the model system, a series of porous carbon substrates with exquisite gradient Ag/ZnO nanomodifications were accordingly obtained. The relative air assisted formational mechanism and potential capabilities of these gradient color products were investigated systematically. As a result, the obtained samples exhibited impressive potential in both the inhibition of microorganism and degradation of organic pollutants. And the corresponding high-efficient water purification process could be accomplished even without irradiation.
