Amorphous TiO2 (AT) was successfully prepared via the sol-gel technique, using different titanium sources followed by incorporation of copper via the electrochemical method to give CuO/TiO2 (CAT) catalysts. The catalysts were characterized via XRD, N2 physisorption, FTIR, TEM, EDX, XPS, ESR and UV–V...
