The octahedra single-phase Cu2O nanoparticles were fabricated from copper salts precursors with different anions including SO42-, Cl-, CH3COO- and NO3-. The prepared materials were characterized by: XRD, Raman shift, SEM, solid UV-vis absorption spectra. The photocatalytic activity and decomposition reaction kinetics for methyl orange dye of the prepared Cu2O samples under visible light irradiation were also studied in this experiment. The results showed that the fabricated Cu2O materials all had a nanometer-sized crystal particles arranged in about of 300-1000 nm with the octahedral particle shape. The narrow optical gap energy of Cu2O samples achieved Eg» 1.83-2.01 eV. The fabricated Cu2O samples all had the high photocatalytic efficiency in decomposition of methyl orange dye (MO) under visible light when added with H2O2 assisted catalyst. The photocatalytic efficiency of the Cu2O-(SO42-)/H2O2 sample was the highest, reaching 99.2% with the rate constant k= 0.10132 min-1. The photocatalytic efficiency of the Cu2O-(CH3COO-)/H2O2 sample was the smallest, reaching 97.6% with the rate constant k= 0.09098 min-1

A novel method for decoration of anodic TiO2nanotube array films (NAFs) with Cu2O nanoparticles has been reported. The method is based on the reduction of Cu(II) in a mixture of ethylene glycol and N,N-dimethylformamide at 120°C for 16 h, where the resulting Cu2O can heterogeneously nucleate and grow on TiO2NAFs. The nanosized Cu2O is found to be well dispersed on the wall of TiO2nanotubes without blocking the nanotube, a commonly observed phenomenon in the case of deposition of Cu2O via electrochemical method. The amount of Cu2O deposited on the TiO2NAFs can be varied by adjusting the concentration of Cu(II) in the organic solution. UV-vis spectra measurement indicates that the decoration of TiO2NAFs with Cu2O nanoparticles greatly improves their ability to respond to visible light. By examining the photocurrent and photodegradation of methyl orange under simulated sunlight, it is found that these Cu2O-decorated TiO2NAFs show much more photoactive in comparison with the as-prepared TiO2NAFs.
