Amorphous TiO2 (AT) nanoparticles were prepared by a simple sol-gel method and subsequent incorporation with copper (5-20 wt%) via an electrochemical method in the presence of a supporting electrolyte, tetraethylammonium perchlorate (TEAP), was used to synthesize CuO/TiO2 (CAT) catalysts. The physic...
