CuO Nanowhiskers-Based Photocatalysts for Wastewater Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article described the photocatalysts for wastewater treatment based on copper oxide (II). Research results of CuO nanowhiskers photocatalytic properties are showedand a series of nanowhiskers tests on organic pollutant (methylene blue)are given. It is shown that the copper oxide nanowhiskers able to purify water from organic pollution.
