Given the growing importance of photocatalysts in the industrial wastewater treatment,
in this study, TiO2-CuO (TC) composite nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method. Tetrabutyl orthotitanate (TBT), copper nitrate-3hydrate and ethanol were used as titanium dioxide precursor, copper oxide precursor and solvent, respectively.
The structural, optical, photocatalytic activity and BET-BJH...
