In this work, we successfully synthesized Cu2O/ZnO nanowire material systems, adjusting the molar ratios between Cu2O and ZnO using hydrothermal and wet chemical methods. Notably, the Cu2O nanoclusters displayed a square shape with a size of about 100-200 nm, adhered to ZnO nanowires. The Cu2O/ZnO composite system, as a photocatalyst, converts CO2 into CH4 gas in an aqueous environment. The highest conversion efficiency, at 28.44 µmol. .h-1, was achieved by the Cu2O/ZnO sample with the highest Cu2O concentration, surpassing pure ZnO (4.66 µmol. .h-1) by a factor of six. The enhanced catalytic activity is attributed to the expansion of the absorption range into the visible light region and the synergic interaction between ZnO and Cu2O at the interface. Moreover, the surface morphology plays a crucial role in enhancing the CO2 photoreduction activity of the Cu2O/ZnO system.
