Hierarchical branched Cu2O nanowires with enhanced photocatalytic activity and stability for H2 production.
Hierarchical branched Cu2O nanowires were synthesized under mild conditions and exhibit remarkable performance for photocatalytic H2 generation from water. The obtained results open appealing perspectives for converting solar energy into storable chemical energy.
