Abstract

Novel etched Cu₂O cubes with exposed {110} facets are synthesized via an oxidative etching method at room temperature. The photocatalytic performance indicates that these architectures show higher photocatalytic activity than that of the normal Cu₂O cubes in the degradation of methylene orange.
