Efficient Photocatalysts Made by Uniform Decoration of Cu2O Nanoparticles on Si Nanowire Arrays with Low Visible Reflectivity

Abstract Highly uniformed decorations of Cu2O nanoparticles on the sidewalls of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with high aspect ratio were prepared through a two-step electroless deposition at room temperature. Morphology evolutions and photocatalytic performance of SiNWs decorated with aggregated and di...
