Demonstrating the Critical Role of Band‐Edge Potential Alignment in Photocatalytic Cu(II) Reduction by ZnO and TiO 2
Photocatalytic reduction of Cu(II) offers a sustainable approach for recovery of metallic copper from aqueous solution under mild reaction conditions. However, the factors governing the thermodynamics feasibility of Cu(II) reduction remain insufficiently understood, and photocatalytic performance is frequently inte...
