The modification of zinc oxide (ZnO) with silver (Ag) has proven to be an effective strategy to enhance the optical and electrical properties, in which the interactions between ZnO and Ag are critically determined by the structure and morphology of the ZnO–Ag hybrids. In order to achieve homogeneous...
