Synthesis of visible light-responsive cuprous oxide/sunflower stem pith hybrid materials for detoxification of methylene blue

The detoxification of dye-contaminated water by photocatalysis has become a research priority. Here, a novel hybrid material, cuprous oxide/sunflower stem pith (Cu2O/SSP), was successfully synthesized in situ, using copper hydroxide gel, prepared by ion exchange, as the precursor to Cu2O. The presen...
