“…After three years of the extensive research, TiO2/CuO solar cells were successfully obtained with an efficiency of ~0.24% [16]. The results presented in this manuscript relate to new samples produced in different process conditions, which allowed for an increase of ~300% compared to previous works [16], e.g., by using a Cu buffer.…”

“…The investigated layers of copper oxide and titanium dioxide were produced with similar process parameters (Table 1), selected on the basis of the previous studies [15,16]. One TiO2/CuO (#11), four TiO2/Cu2O/CuO/Cu2O (#12, #13, #14, #17), and TiO2/Cu2O (#16) solar cells were obtained.…”

“…Therefore, the crystallite size increased with the increase in the substrate temperature during deposition. The increase in the temperature of the substrates, respectively the mobility of the atoms, leads to agglomeration of the crystallites and an increase in their size [17,18]. It is well known that the grain size has a significant influence on the mechanical properties.…”

In this work, CuO coatings were deposited on 304 L stainless steel substrates by reactive magnetron sputtering. During the process, the substrate temperature was varied in the range from 100 °C to 400 °C. The crystallographic structure of the samples thus prepared was characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the results are discussed with respect to the technological conditions applied. It was found that the phase composition of the deposited CuO coatings is in the form of a monoclinic crystal structure. Also, the growth of the coatings was accompanied by a change in the orientation of the crystallites from (022) to (110) and a decrease in the concentration of imperfections.

“…Numerous photocatalysts have been successfully synthesized, such as titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), 10 silver oxide, 7 graphitic carbon nitride, 11 bismuth oxide, 12 and copper oxide. 13 Besides, other simple photocatalysts have also been successfully produced, such as phosphorus, boron, sulphur as well as their composites and polymers. 14 In the meantime, photocatalytic membrane technology offers a cost-effective alternative as water treatment, which is composed of a exible way for its usage and shows a powerful capacity of pollutant removal.…”
