Surface Decoration of ZnWO4 Nanorods with Cu2O Nanoparticles to Build Heterostructure with Enhanced Photocatalysis

The surface of ZnWO4 nanorods was decorated with Cu2O nanoparticles (Cu2O/ZnWO4) prepared through a precipitation method. The Cu2O nanoparticles were tightly deposited on the ZnWO4 surface and had average diameters of 20 nm. The nanoparticles not only promoted the absorption and utilization of visib...
