Abstract

new material of Cu(OH)2 nanostructures was prepared using cupric nitrate and sodium hydroxide as raw materials by the chemical precipitation method. The Cu(OH)2 nanostructures were characterized by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectrometer, and X-ray diffractometer. The results showed that the Cu(OH)2 nanostructures exhibited excellent uniform and dispersion at 40°C. A series of factors was investigated to effect the photocatalytic efficiency of methyl orange (MO), such as the concentration of Cu(OH)2 nanostructures, the reaction time of the Cu(OH)2 nanostructures, the initial concentration of MO, and so on. As a result, the Cu(OH)2 nanostructures exhibited excellent photocatalytic efficiency with the concentration of 20 mg L–1 Cu(OH)2 nanostructures, the initial concentration of MO was 15 mg L–1 and the stirring time was 70 min.
