ZnO–TiO2–carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composites are successfully synthesized using microwave-assisted reaction of ZnO precursor in TiO2 and CNTs suspension using a microwave synthesis system and they are used as photocatalysts for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI). The results show that the CNTs additi...
