In this context, both catalysts (MgZnO/AC and Fe:MgZnO/AC) are synthesized by hydrothermal technique. Structural (XRD analysis) and optical (UV-Vis) properties of the synthesized catalysts are discussed. How the Fe-dopant metal affects the crystallite size and energy band gap of the MgZnO/AC catalyst is examined and the experimental data obtained are interpreted.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCatalystCharacterizationDoped materialMetal oxidePhotocatalyticArticle173291298Q4WOS:000669590300006Q32-s2.0-85108616663
