With the progressively increasing demand for tackling environmental pollution problems, highly efficient photocatalytic materials with greater charge carrier's separation aptitude and transfer efficiency have attracted significant research attention. Herein, a new ZnO/CdO/CeO₂ (ZCC) nanocomposite, blending the merits of three highly ordered-structure and synergetic effects resulting from the heterojunction formation, was synthesized as an excellent sunlight-driven photocatalyst by using a wet-chemical technique. The PXRD, FTIR, and UV–Vis characterization methods, as well as the well-diffusion method, were used in order to investigate the structural, photocatalytic, and antibacterial capabilities of the ZCC photocatalyst, respectively. According to the findings of the characterization, the three phases of ZnO, CdO, and CeO₂ were effectively mixed to produce a heterostructured ZCC nanocomposite. The formation of …
