The present work studied ZnO nanorod (ZnO NRs) enhanced with ZnWO4 and gold (Au) nanoparticles. The ZnO NRs were successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Subsequently, the hydrothermal method was used to load ZnWO4 on the ZnO surface to form the ZnWO4/ZnO NRs heterostructure. Furthermore...
