In this work, we have prepared the Ag-ZnO-La2O2CO3 nanomaterials as promising photocatalysts for the photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceutical pollutants. Firstly, a series of ZnAl1-xLax(CO3) (0 x 0.5) layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized by the co-precipitation method at the com...
