Fabrication and Photoelectrochemical Properties of an Oxide Photoanode with Zinc Oxide Nanorod Array Embedded in Cuprous Oxide Thin Film

Preparation of Novel ZnO/Cu2O Heterojunctions Composite Film by Codeposition Method and Their Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance Analysis

“…Compared with pure Cu 2 O thin films, the photocurrent of Cu 2 O/ZnO heterojunction thin films is greatly improved under illumination. Min et al 16 used a solvothermal method to prepare vertically oriented n-type ZnO nanoparticles on ITO conductive glass, and electroplated a p-type Cu 2 O thin film on the nanoparticles to form a p-n heterojunction to increase its photoelectric conversion efficiency. These studies indicate that the formation of a p-n heterojunction can enhance the photocatalytic performance of Cu 2 O.…”
