Abstract

Abstract ZnO/Cu 2 O core-shell nanocomposites (ZnO/Cu 2 OCSNCs) were successfully synthesized by a facile solution method. The samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM and UV–vis absorption spectra. Results showed that ZnO nanorods coated by Cu 2 O nanoparticles formed typical core-shell structures, and the ZnO/Cu 2 OCSNCs were able to absorb a large part of visible light and exhibited an excellent photocatalytic activity. It was found that the n -ZnO/p-Cu 2 O heterojunction played a key role in enhancing photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/Cu 2 O CSNCs.
