Cuprous oxide sheet-like particles had been synthesized via a wet chemical treatment of CuSO4·5H2O and NaOH in the solution at room temperature for 1 h. The as-prepared Cu2O sheet-like particles were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Cu2O sheet-like particles was determined by these parameters (the amount of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP-K30) and reaction time). The possible formation mechanism for the products has been presented. The photocatalytic properties of the as-synthesized samples show the size/shape-dependent properties and potential applications.
