Özet
In this study a low cost photocatalyst design was introduced based on the silver nanoparticle decorated Cu2O nanowires that were grown on flexible copper substrate. Photocatalyst was characterized by using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray scattering (EDS), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometer. Band gap energy values for Cu2O and Ag decorated Cu2O were determined as 2.37 eV and 2.17 eV respectively. Photocatalytic activity was tested against methylene blue (MB) degradation at three different pH values. Although no noticeable difference was observed, pH 5.3 was faster. Decreasing methylene blue concentration was followed up by UV–vis spectroscopy. Visible light adsorption increased by decorating the Cu2O nanowires with silver nanoparticles. Kinetics of degradation was found to be first order with a R-squared value of 0.99. Nearly total MB was …
