the synthesis of Ag–ZnO hybridplasmonicnanostructures with enhanced photocatalytic activity by a facile wet-chemical method. The structural, optical, plasmonic and photocatalytic properties of the Ag–ZnO hybrid nanostructures were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron
photocatalytic degradation efficiency, which has been found to increase with the extent of Ag nanoparticle loading.

The removal of hazardous materials such as dyes and organic compounds from waste water has attracted ever
microrods, by photoreduction of Ag ions onto the surface of the ZnO microrods prepared through a solvothermal-assisted method, which showed enhanced sun light active photocatalytic activity. In this paper, we report the synthesis of Ag–ZnO hybridplasmonicnanostructures by a two-step facile wet chemical
