摘要

Crystalline Cu(2)O nanoparticles were synthesized via the templating method by taking advantage of the chelation of chitosan with copper ions. Experimental data indicated that Cu(2)O-embedded film exhibited higher photocatalytic activity toward methhyl orange degradation under visible light irradiation.
