Controllable Preparation Cu2O/AC and Application in Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Cu2O supported by active carbon (Cu2O/AC) was prepared by impregnation with different concentrations of CuSO4 and Na2SO3 in HAc-NaAc buffer solution. The addition of a few C6H12O6 (glucose) in reaction favored of improving the quality of the cuprous oxide. The sample was characterized by chemistry analysis, SEM, XRD and so on. The results showed that the cuprous oxide was of pure phase and radial spherical morphology. The photocatalytic activity of prepared catalysts was investigated for degradation of organic dyes. The degradation efficiency was up to 95% under the optimized experimental conditions.
