CuO/ZnO hallow spherical nanocomposite were synthesis with rapid microwave method in polyol solvent at 10 min and 900 W as optimum time and power. Prepared CuO/ZnO is characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and for an estimate the band gap used diffuse reflectance measurement. For the sufficient optical properties, prepared CuO/ZnO nanocomposites are applied as a catalyst in photodegradation of rhodamine B (RB) and methylene blue (MB) pollutants. Results showed that after 120 min, 41 and 73% of RB and MB was degraded respectively.
