Abstract:
Well faceted CuO nanocrystals, were fabricated by thermal-assisted green strategy at reflux temperature in a short period of time. A possible growth mechanism of such highly faceted nanostructures based on typical biomolecule-crystal interactions in aqueous solution is tentatively proposed. The large surface area and rich exposed active sites are expected to endow such nanostructures with excellent performances in catalysis as demonstrated here for the remarkable photocatalytic activity with respect to the oxidation organic dye (Methylene blue). This interesting result highlights the advantage of such a CuO nanostructure over the bulk counterpart, i.e. the high density of active sites and large surface area, which places a solid foundation for the feasible and promising application of such highly faceted nanomaterials in photocatalysis. The synthesized material is characterized by XRD, IR, SEM, TEM, and DRS techniques. Their photocatalytic activities were determined by oxidative decomposition of Methylene blue in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation.
