The porousCu2O@g-C3N4 compounds were prepared by hydrothermal method in EG as one reducing agent and medium using copper acetate as Cu sources. The prepared specimens were detected by TEM, XPS, XRD, FL and UV/vis DRS. The empirical conclusion indicate that g-C3N4 are two-dimensional nanomaterials and Cu2O was deposited into g-C3N4 between two different layers with a bang. The photocatalytic activity of Cu2O@g-C3N4 was characterized depend on degradated organic dye MB driven by light xenon lamp. The empirical conclusion show photocatalytic activity of Cu2O@g-C3N4 was intensified according the structure of p-n heterojunction that interfaced Cu2O with g-C3N4. The rate of MB decomposition increased from 55.23 to 97.07% compare with unitary g-C3N4 photocatalyst. Organic dye MB decomposition rate was reduced from 97.07% to 95.69% for several recycling uses, therefore, Cu2O@g-C3N4 shows higher catalytic ability and fixity. The photodegradation mechanism of Cu2O@g-C3N4 was investigated due to the produced active substances in the photocatalytic organic dye MB system.
