Hybrid copper doped titania/polythiophene nanorods as efficient visible light-driven photocatalyst for degradation of organic pollutants

The hybrid Cu–TiO2/polythiophene nanorods (HNRs) were prepared by modified sol–gel technique at low temperature through oxidative polymerization of thiophene. The prepared HNRs and Cu–TiO2 nanorods without polymer (CTNRs) were characterized by using XRD, TEM, IR, UV–vis DRS and XPS. IR, XPS and XRD...
