Research on catalytic performance and mechanism of Cu2O in dark environment and visible light

Studies on the substrate-dependent photocatalytic properties of Cu2O heterojunctions

“…[6][7][8] Cu 2 O behaves as a catalyst under dark conditions and photocathode under illumination. 4,9 Typically, Cu 2 O is grown on conductive substrates, such as Cu, 10 Ti, 11,12 Al, 10 uorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), [12][13][14] and indium tin oxide (ITO), 4,13 and can still behave as a photocathode.…”

Cu₂O Nanoparticles: A Simple Synthesis, Characterization and Its Photocatalytic Performance toward Methylene Blue

“…13) Moreover, Cu 2 O is easy to make, abundant in nature, inexpensive, readily available, safe, and nontoxicity. 4,5,912) Due to the attractive properties of Cu 2 O has attracted significant interest for many applications such as photocatalysis, 47) gas sensing, 1,8) solar energy conversion. 4,5,9) Several methods have been described for the synthesis of Cu 2 O, such as solvothermal synthesis 13) solution-phase reduction, 1) the hydrothermal method, 3,14,15) SILAR method, 12) electro-deposition, 16) chemical bath deposition.…”

“…1) Xue et al have been successfully fabricated Cu 2 O micro-nano particles using copper sulfate solution, sodium hydroxide solution, and glucose. 4) Kumar et al obtained Cu 2 O from copper nitrate with using L-ascorbic acid or L-glutamic acid as a reducing agent. 17) Cuprous oxide nanoparticles were (Cu 2 O-NPs) prepared with usual precursor chemicals as sodium borohydride and origanum Vulgare leaf extract which have a role of a reducing agent and an oxidizing agent, respectively.…”

Studying effect of temperature on to formation and red congo absorption ability of cupper oxide

“…Mặc dù có độ rộng vùng cấm lớn hơn giá trị vùng cấm lý tưởng cho các pin mặt trời, nhưng Cu2O có những ưu điểm để làm lớp hấp thụ ánh sáng trong các pin mặt trời như có độ linh động cao, chiều dài khuếch tán hạt tải phụ khá lớn, hệ số hấp thụ cao trong vùng khả kiến với chi phí sản xuất thấp và thân thiện với môi trường. Ngoài ra, vật liệu nano Cu2O có thể được ứng dụng làm chất hấp phụ đầy hứa hẹn để loại bỏ chọn lọc hoặc làm giàu các chất hữu cơ anion từ nước thải có chứa các thành phần phức tạp [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
