Uniformly sized nanorods ZnO/SiC composites were prepared and characterized.
Photocatalyst is novel, recoverable, cost effective and catalytically active.
Instantaneous in-situ generation of OH radicals confirmed by EPR.
Two fold increase in photocatalytic activity for ZnO/SiC when compared to pristine ZnO.
Prepared photocatalyst retained its activity even after third cycle of the usage.
