Photocatalytic Degradation of Rhodamine B Using 1D CuO/TiO₂ Nanofibers Synthesized via the Electrospinning Method.

ABSTRACT: This research was designed to improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers in TiO₂ through the construction of a PN heterojunction. The motivation behind this was to tackle the problems of the narrow light response range and the high electron-hole recombination rate of TiO₂. By simple one-step implementing electrospinning and calcination procedures, CuO/TiO₂ PN heterojunction nanofibers were successfully synthesized. XRD and SEM analyses confirm that the heterojunction is a nanofiber structure composed of TiO₂ and CuO, with the TiO₂ containing anatase and rutile phases. The PL reveals that the fluorescence intensity of the heterojunction is lower compared to that of pure TiO₂, and this implies a remarkable en
