ZnO　has　been　widely　employed　in　the　photodegradation　of　pollutants;　however,　it　exhibits　poor　photocatalytic　performance　under　visible　light　illumination.　Thus,　visible-light-driven　heterostructured　PVDF/ZnO/Ag2O　photocatalysts　were　fabricated　by　combining　the　electrospinning,　hydrothermal,　and　in　situ　deposition　techniques.　As　matrix　materials,　it　is　easy　to　recycle　and　reuse　electrospun　PVDF　nanofibers.　ZnO　nanorods　anchored　on　PVDF　nanofibers　with　a　high　specific　surface　area　provide　an　abundance　of　photocatalytically　active　sites.　As　a　photosensitizer,　silver　oxide　nanoparticles　enhance　the　visible-light　photocatalytic　efficiency.　Thus,　the　composited　PVDF/ZnO/Ag2O　photocatalysts　exhibit　excellent　photocatalytic　performance　under　both　UV　and　visible　light　irradiation　as　a　result　of　the　enhanced　electron-hole　separation/transfer　and　broadened　visible　light　absorption　range.　Under　visible　light　irradiation,　the　kinetic　constant　of　PVDF/ZnO/Ag2O　nanocomposites　is　24.4　and　6.73　times　greater　than　that　of　PVDF/Ag2O　and　PVDF/ZnO,　respectively.　Moreover,　the　PVDF/ZnO/Ag2O　nanocomposites　exhibit　advantages　in　recycling　and　reusing　with　high　stability,　thus　considerably　widening　their　practical　applications　in　the　field　of　environmental　remediation.　©　2022　Elsevier　Ltd　and　Techna　Group　S.r.l.
