This article is published with open access at Abstract In this article the porous-ZnO-nanobelt film was synthesized by oxidizing the ZnSe-nanobelt film in air. The experiment results show that the porous-ZnO-nanobelt film possesses enhanced photocatalytic activity compared with the ZnO-nanobelt film and can be used as recyclable photocatalysts. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the porous-ZnO-nanobelt film is attributed to the increased surface area. Therefore turning the 1D-nanostructure film into porous one may be a feasible approach to meet the demand of photocatalyst application. Keywords Porous materials ZnO Nanobelt Photocatalyst Introduction In the past decade some oxide semiconductors have been widely used as photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants in water 1 2 . Based on the viewpoint of application high photocatalytic activity and recyclability are two major factors which should be regarded. Considering that photocatalytic reaction occurs at the surface of catalysts great efforts have been focused on nanoparticles because high photocatalytic activity can be achieved owing to their large surface area in a relative small volume high surface-volume ratio 3-5 . Unfortunately however these M. Wang G. T. Fei L.
