TiO₂@Cu₂O n-n Type Heterostructures for Photochemistry.

ABSTRACT: A TiO₂@Cu₂O semiconductor heterostructure with better photochemical response compared to TiO₂ was obtained using an electrochemical deposition method of Cu₂O on the surface of TiO₂ nanotubes. The choice of 1D nanotubes was motivated by the possibility of achieving fast charge transfer, which is considered best suited for photochemical applications. The morphology and structural properties of the obtained heterojunction were determined using standard methods -SEM and Raman spectroscopy. Analysis of photoelectrochemical properties showed that TiO₂@Cu₂O heterostructures exhibit better properties resulting from an interaction with sunlight than TiO₂. A close relationship between the morphology of the hetero
