One-pot synthesis of etched Cu2O cubes with exposed {110} facets with enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity

摘要

Novel etched Cu2O cubes with exposed {110} facets are synthesized via an oxidative etching method at room temperature. The photocatalytic performance indicates that these architectures show higher photocatalytic activity than that of the normal Cu2O cubes in the degradation of methylene orange.
