摘要

A series of Cu2O micro/nano-structures were synthesized by a simple liquid phase reduction technique with copper sulfate as a copper source and glucose monohydrate as a reducer. The effect of temperature and feeding manners of reagents on morphology and particle size of Cu2O was studied. XRD, TEM, SEM and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used to characterize the crystallinity, morphology and light response of the materials. The results show three extraordinary morphologies: short hexapods, {110) truncated octahedron, and octahedron. The photocatalytic behaviors of Cu2O crystals were evaluated by suing the degradation of methyl orange (MO) as a target reaction. Antifouling paints were prepared by using Cu2O with different morphologies as the marine antifouling agents, and the results indicate that prepared paints have good antifouling property.
