Abstract:

Cuprous oxide(Cu2O) has a wide range of application prospects in the field of photocatalysis,solar cell,sensor and so on.Combined with the research direction of Cu2O photocatalyst,general methods,such as improvement of morphology,doping,metal loading and semiconductor recombination,to improve the photocatalytic performance were reviewed.Several representative Cu2O based composite photocatalysts,involving metal-Cu2O composite photocatalyst,Cu2O-semiconductor composite photocatalyst,Cu2O-carbon composite photocatalyst and ternary composite photocatalyst,as well as their mechanisms were introduced.At last the future development of Cu2O based composite photocatalysts were put forward.

Key words: Cu2O, doping, semiconductor, composite, photocatalysis
