الوصف: This paper describes the development of TiO2 and ZnO particles by a chemical route, using two different wet synthesis methods: polymeric precursor (PP) and sol-gel (SG). This study aimed to shed a light on how the synthesis method affects the photocatalytic activity of these oxides. Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation was used as a probe reaction to test the as-synthesized TiO2 and ZnO photoactivity. It was observed that surface availability, which is related to the presence of synthesis residue, is the key parameter to determine photoactivity. ZnO PP and ZnO SG presented degradation of 88% to RhB. Both samples presented synthesis residue on the surface. On the other hand, TiO2 PP presented a better performance than TiO2 SG, once 90% of RhB was degraded, while TiO2 SG degraded 80% of the dye. In this case, TiO2 PP was free of synthesis residue on the surface, while TiO2 SG presented residues.
