Abstract: Nanostructure zinc oxide bamboo charcoal (ZnO/BC) composite were prepared with precipitation method with NaOH and ZnSO4?7H2O as reaction agents in the present of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000. XRD and SEM were used to characterize the structures and morphologies of the composites. The photocatalysis and absorption properties of the composite was studied using methylene blue solution as the catalysant object under the ultraviolet light and natural light conditions. The results show that ZnO/BC composite had good photocatalytic activity and gave the removal rate of methylene blue for more than 95% in one hour under the ultraviolet light. ZnO/BC composite were combined the adsorption of BC with the photocatalytic property of ZnO nanostructure and were used as a new photocatalyst to degrade methylene blue solution. The results provide a new route in the wastewater treatment.
