An unprecedented morphology of a titanium dioxide (TiO2) and cadmium sulfide (CdS) self-assembly obtained using a ‘truly’ one-pot and highly cost effective method with a multi-gram scale yield is reported here.
Novel Cu2O cubes with exposed {110} facets have been prepared. When evaluated for the photocatalytic performances, the etched Cu2O manifest higher photocatalytic activity than that of the normal Cu2O cubes.
