As visible light-driven photocatalysts in wastewater treatment, Cu2O/CuO composites have garnered considerable attention. Herein, Cu2O/CuO core-shell nanowires were fabricated directly on a Cu mesh using a simple two-step synthesis process involving a wet chem. method and rapid annealing. Unlike conventional composite nanowires, controllable core-shell nanowires exhibit high photoelectrochem. properties and overcome the problems associated with the recovery of powder-based photocatalysts. The presence and structural distribution of the Cu2O/CuO core-shell nanowires were confirmed using X-ray diffraction, XPS and transmission electron microscopy. Among the samples subjected to different rapid annealing temperatures for 180 s, the sample exposed to rapid annealing at 350掳C achieved the highest photocurrent d. of -6.96 mA cm-2. In the core-shell nanowires fabricated on the samples, the ratio of Cu2O/CuO was 1:1. The photocatalytic activity of the Cu2O/CuO nanowire samples was also determined by measuring methyl blue degradation to determine their applicability in wastewater treatment. A remarkable photocatalytic degradation rate of 91.6% was achieved at a loading bias voltage of -0.5 V. The Cu2O/CuO heterojunction enhanced the photodegradation of the samples because the different bandgaps improved the dissociation of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of the Cu2O/CuO nanowires exhibited considerable resistance against Escherichia coli and photocatalytic antibacterial treatment for only 20 min under visible light killed 106 CFU/mL of E. coli. Therefore, the Cu2O/CuO controllable core-shell nanowires with a high photodegradation performance and excellent antibacterial activity under general illumination show diverse applications in water treatment. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Cuprichydroxide (cas: 20427-59-2COA of Formula: CuH2O2).
Cuprichydroxide (cas: 20427-59-2) belongs to copper catalysts. Transition metal-catalyzed chemical transformation of organic electrophiles and organometallic reagents belong to the most important cross-coupling reaction in organic synthesis. Copper of different valence states can be used to catalyze the coupling reaction, especially the Ullmann coupling reaction. COA of Formula: CuH2O2
