Oriented 2.0.0 Cu2O nanoplatelets supported on few-layers graphene as efficient visible light photocatalyst for overall water splitting

[EN] Cu2O nanoplatelets with preferential 2.0.0 facet orientation supported on few layers graphene were prepared as films in a single step by pyrolysis at 900 degrees C under inert atmosphere of Cu2+-chitosan precursor. (Cu2O) over bar /fl-G films exhibit a photocatalytic activity for overall water...

(Cu2O) over bar /fl-G films exhibit a photocatalytic activity for overall water splitting of 19.5 mmol/g(cu+G) h. This value is about 4 orders of magnitude higher than the photocatalytic activity measured for unoriented Cu2O nanoparticles on few-layers graphene or than commercial Cu2O nanoparticles and about three orders of magnitude higher than the activity reported in the literature for Cu2O nanoparticles. In addition Cu2O nanoparticles on few-layers graphene retain about 50% of its photocatalytic activity after 6 days of continuous irradiation. It is proposed that this activity and stability arises from the combination of features derived from the pyrolysis preparation procedure including strong Cu2O-graphene grafting, the role of graphene as cocatalyst and preferential 2.0.0 facet orientation.
