Degradation of Methyl Orange by Copper Oxides

Copper oxides are suitable due to the specific properties for photocatalytic activity. In this work, copper oxides (Cu2O and CuO) are prepared by the co-precipitation method. Then, samples are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) andultraviolet-vis light (UV-vis) absorption spectra. Finally, to evaluate the photocatalytic properties of oxides, dye degradation (Methyl Orange) by various oxides under UV irradiation are studied.
