In this study, the degradation of phenolic compounds was performed in the presence of pure and Cu doped nickel oxide (Cu–NiO) nanocatalysts. A wet chemical method was utilized for the catalyst preparation. The crystallinity and phase were determined using X-ray diffraction, optical properties were a...
