TiO2nanotube arrays (TNAs) modified by CuO (CuO-TNAs) catalysts were prepared by an impregnating-calcinating method using the electrochemically prepared TNAs and Cu (NO3)2as precursors and were characterized by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. The electrocatalytic properties of the CuO-TNAs samples for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) were investigated by linear sweep curves, electrochemical impedance spectrum and current-time curves. The results showed that the electrocatalytic activity of TNAs for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was significantly enhanced by CuO modification, and the electrocatalytic activity of CuO-TNAs catalysts could be further promoted by visible-light illumination. The combination of visible-light irradiation with applying a controlled potential may provide new insight into enhancing the performances of the cathode for hydrogen evolution reaction.
