Silver-doped zinc oxide (SDZO) films have been grown on glass substrate by a novel combination of sol-gel and photochemical deposition processes (SGPD). The effect of sintering on structural, electrical and optical properties was investigated. The films were characterized by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The result of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that the binding energy of Ag 3d5/2 for SDZO shifts remarkably to the lower binding energy compared to the pure metallic Ag due to the interaction between silver and zinc oxide. The XRD spectra of the SDZO films indicate that silver was incorporated in the hexagonal crystal structure of zinc oxide. SEM micrographs show the uniform distribution of spherical grains of about 73 nm grain size for the pure zinc oxide thin films. The results indicated that silver doping photochemical deposition was a feasible method to tune the optical properties of zinc oxide nanostructures. SDZO films coated on glass were applied for the photodegradation of mercaptan in water. SDZO films were applied for degradation of mercaptobenzoxazole which reduced the mercaptan concentration to more than 98%.
