p-Type Cu2O/n-type ZnO core/shell photocatalysts has been demonstrated to be an efficient photocatalyst as a result of their interfacial structure tendency to reduce the recombination rate of photogenerated electron hole pairs. Monodispersed Cu2O nanocubes were synthesized and functioned as the core, on which ZnO nanoparticles were coated as the shells having varying morphologies. The evenly distributed ZnO decoration as well as assembled nanospheres of ZnO were carried out by changing the molar concentration ratio of Zn/Cu. The results indicate that the photocatalytic performance is initially increased, owing to formation of small ZnO nanoparticles and production of efficient p-n junction heterostructures. However, with increasing Zn concentration, the decorated ZnO nanopartides tend to form large spherical assemblies resulting in decreased photocatalytic activity due to the interparticle recombination between the agglomerated ZnO nanopartides. Therefore, photocatalytic activity of Cu2O/ZnO heterostructures can be optimized by controlling the assembly and morphology of the ZnO shell.
