To date, several binary metal/[Cu.sub.2]O heterogeneous nanostructures such as Cu/[Cu.sub.2]O [13], Au/[Cu.sub.2]O [14, 15], and Ag/[Cu.sub.2]O [16, 17] have been successfully prepared and have shown expected enhanced photocatalytic activities in degradation of organic dyes like MO [13, 16, 17], methylene blue (MB) [14], and pyronine B [15] compared to pure [Cu.sub.2]O.
