Review of various strategies to boost the photocatalytic activity of the cuprous oxide-based photocatalyst

Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is a semiconductor with some interesting features, such as abundance in nature, low cost, low toxicity, and facile synthesis. It crystallizes in cubic structure and has a bandgap of 2.0-2.2 eV. Such a narrow bandgap renders it suitable as a visible-light photocatalyst. Nonethele...
