Enhanced visible-light photocatalysis by Au and Ag decorated ZnO for the simultaneous degradation of tetracycline and methylene blue Pristine and noble metal-decorated ZnO nanostructures were synthesized via a simple chemical reduction approach using hydrazine hydrate to deposit silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles. Comprehensive characterization using PXRD, FESEM, HRTEM, XPS, FTIR, Raman, BET, and UV-vis spectroscopy revealed high-sur
