Description
Summary:A facile method is developed to prepare Cu NP/Cu-2TPABTz composites, and those nanocomposites were characterized systematically. Amazingly, the resultant nanocomposite 3 has shown enhanced photocatalytic activity (15.38 mmol h −1 g −1 ) under visible light irradiation, and still maintained 80% of catalytic activity after a long-term stability test (24 h). An extraordinary nanocomposite 3 (5.0 wt% Cu NPs) has demonstrated significant photocatalytic performance (15.38 mmol h −1 g −1 ) towards photocatalytic H 2 evolution under visible light illumination.
