英文摘要	A new paradigm for photocatalysts based on two different hierarchically structured honeycomb and porous cylindrical Au-ZnO heterostructures was successfully developed via a straightforward and cost-effective hydrothermal method under different preparation conditions, which can be promising for industrial applications. The photocatalytic performance of all as-prepared samples under the illumination of sunlight was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and malachite green (MG) aqueous solutions. The results show that the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of RhB and MG was 55.3% and 40.7% for ZnO, 95.3% and 93.4% for the porous cylindrical Au-ZnO heterostructure, and 98.6% and 99.5% for the honeycomb Au-ZnO heterostructure, respectively. Compared with those from the ZnO, the results herein demonstrate an excellent reduction in the photoluminescence and improvement in the photocatalysis for the Au-ZnO hybrids with different morphologies. These results were attributed not only to the greatly improved sunlight utilization efficiency due to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption of Au nanoparticles in the visible region coupled with the UV light utilization by the ZnO nanostructures and multi-reflections of the incident light in the pore structures of their interior cavities but also to the high charge separation efficiency and low Schottky barrier generated by the combination of Au nanoparticles and ZnO micromaterials. Moreover, the honeycomb Au-ZnO heterostructure had a high Au content, surface area and surface oxygen vacancy (OV), which enabled photocatalytic properties that were higher than those of the porous cylindrical Au-ZnO heterostructures. In addition, two different formation mechanisms for the morphology and possible photocatalytic mechanisms are proposed in this paper.
