| Abstract | Polyaniline/mesoporous Cu2O core–shell nanocomposites with different mass ratios of polyaniline/mesoporous Cu2O were prepared using a hydrothermal method. For comparison, Cu2O nanoparticles and polyaniline/Cu2O nanoparticles were also prepared using a hydrothermal method. The catalytic performance of the samples during the photocatalytic oxidation of thiophene under visible-light irradiation was determined. The surface areas of the mesoporous and nanoparticulate Cu2O materials were 140 and 40 m2/g, respectively. Adding polyaniline to mesoporous and nanoparticulate Cu2O decreases the surface areas of the nanoparticles to 120 and 32 m2/g, respectively. TEM images reveal that the mesoporous and nanoparticulate Cu2O materials occur as uniform microspheres and spherical nanoparticles, |
