Electrochemical Degradation of p-Nitrophenol on Cu Nanowires and Nanocubes

Article Preview

Abstract:

{100}-faceted copper nanostructures with different morphology of nanowires and nanocubes have been prepared by one-pot method. The electroactivity of Cu nanowires and nanocubes was evaluated by degradation of p-nitrophenol. As-prepared copper nanowires exhibit higher catalytic activity for p-nitrophenol degradation than copper nanocubes, and outperform most of Cu catalysts reported in literature. Electrochemical reductive reaction of p-nitrophenol is shown to be kinetically first-order.
