Role of Surface/Interfacial Cu2+ Sites in the Photocatalytic Activity of Coupled CuO−TiO2 Nanocomposites
Abstract
Coupled CuO−TiO 2 nanocomposite photocatalysts were prepared by a deposition precipitation method and were characterized with a variety of techniques. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was employed to study the local structures of surface/interfacial Cu 2+ sites using Cu 2+ as a sensitive paramagnetic probe. The addition of bulk CuO to TiO 2 led to decreased photocatalytic efficiency in the degradation of methylene blue. However, doping with a very small amount of CuO (0.1 wt % copper loading) significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 . EPR study of the TiO 2 surface revealed the presence of both highly dispersed CuO clusters and substitutional Cu 2+ sites (Ti−O−Cu linkages) at 0.1 wt % copper loading. The data suggest that the Ti−O−Cu linkages contributed to the improved photooxidative activity of the 0.1% CuO−TiO 2 nanocomposite. In contrast, at higher loadings the bulk form of CuO created charge recombination centers lowering the photoactivity of the composites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
