Electrodeposition of CU₂O Films at Room Temperature for Methylene Blue Photodegradation

The Cu 2 O films were synthesized using the electrodeposition technique at room temperature. To investigate phase, electrochemical properties, and photocatalytic activity of films, duration was varied. catalytic methylene blue (MB) photodegradation studied. X-ray diffraction measurement showed that single-phase successfully formed from prepared films. Electrochemical properties analysis under visible light irradiation a high photocurrent recorded by linear sweep voltammetry obtained with deposition time 60 minutes. This result could be associated lowest resistance charge transfer sample compared to other times measured impedance spectroscopy method. this is most effective photocatalyst, as it provides 51.5% degradation MB dye.
