Abstract

Photocatalytic degradation of aniline and acetophenone has been studied using Cu2O as photocatalyst under visible light irradiation. Complete degradation of aniline occurred for 2 h of irradiation and acetophenone degradation to an extent of 90 % occurred for 3 h of irradiation. In both cases, synergetic effect between Cu2O and H2O2 led to faster degradation.
