  • A series of metal Cu-modified hierarchical flower-like TiO2 catalysts (X% Cu/TiO2) was prepared by using an alcoholysis solvothermal method, and their photocatalytic performance were evaluated by using visible-light photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline as a model reaction. The results show that 3.3% Cu/TiO2 photocatalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity, achieving 83% nitrobenzene conversion under visible-light irradiation for 3.0 h. There are two main attributions : firstly, the hierarchical structure enlarged the catalyst’s surface area and thus, improved the adsorption and diffusion of nitrobenzene and its contact efficiency with catalyst; secondly, the introduction of metal Cu reduced the catalyst’ energy band and enhanced the separation ability of photoelectron-hole, and thus enhanced the photocatalytic activity. In addition, 3.3% Cu/TiO2 also exhibits good stability and shows good potential in practical applications.
