| Abstract |
p-type Cu2O/n-type ZnO core/shell photo-catalysts has been demonstrated to be an efficient photocatalyst as a result of their interfacial structure tendency to reduce the recombination rate of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. Monodispersed Cu2O nanocubes were synthesized and functioned as the core, on which ZnO nanoparticles were coated as the shells having varying morphologies. The evenly distributed ZnO decoration as well as assembled nano-spheres of ZnO were carried out by changing the molar concentration ratio of Zn/Cu. The results indicate that the photocatalytic performance is initially increased owing to formation of small ZnO nanoparticles and production of efficient p-n junction hetero-structures. However, with increasing Zn concentration, the decorated ZnO nanoparticles tend to form large spherical assemblies resulting in decreased photocatalytic activity due to the inter-particle recombination between the agglomerated ZnO nanoparticles. Therefore, photocatalytic activity of Cu2O/ZnO hetero-structures can be optimized by controlling the assembly and morphology of the ZnO shell. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 July 2015.
All research outputs
#20,290,425
of 22,826,360 outputs
Outputs from Langmuir
#12,605
of 13,954 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#219,170
of 262,866 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Langmuir
#101
of 117 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,826,360 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,954 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 262,866 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 117 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
