Doping TiO with CuSO enhances visible light photocatalytic activity for organic pollutant degradation.

Photocatalysis is one of the most promising advanced oxidation processes due to the capability of solid catalyst to continuously produce oxidant species under light irradiation. The use of conventional UV lamps is high cost intensive, which undermines the possible implementation in developing countries. Visible light active photocatalysts can overcome these challenges and find a market opportunity for competitive technology implementation.
