Abstract

p-Nitrophenol (PNP) is a difficultly decomposed organic pollutant under solar light in the absence of strong oxidants. This study shows that under artificial solar light PNP can be effectively degraded by a Cu(2)O/TiO(2) p-n junction network which is fabricated by anodizing Cu(0) particles-loaded Ti...
