Fund Project:

Highly ordered TiO₂ nanotube arrays (TNAs) were fabricated by an electrochemical anodization process and Cu₂O nanoparticles were subsequently deposited onto these TNAs via pulse deposition to form Cu₂O/TiO₂ nanotube heterojunction composite materials. Samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), field emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-Vis diffusion reflection spectroscopy (DRS). The photocatalytic performances of the Cu₂O/TiO₂ composites were investigated by following the visible-light induced photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange (MO). The results indicated that the inner surfaces and interfaces of the TNAs had been successfully modified with uniformly distributed Cu₂O nanoparticles, and that these composites could effectively improve the visible light photocatalytic performance. The Cu₂O/TiO₂ nanotube composite obtained using 0.01 mol·L^-1 CuSO₄ solution exhibited the best photocurrent and photocatalytic performance. Based on the results obtained, a possible photocatalytic mechanism is also discussed.
