Cover Story: Pre-treatment and disinfection of drinking water is a necessary step to avoid health problems and ensure good water quality. Sunlight-driven photocatalysis has been the focus of interest for several years because it can treat water without the use of additional chemicals. Copper oxide (CuO) with its black colour can absorb all visible light and use the energy to disinfect and purify water. In this work, a simple method for depositing a CuO layer with good adhesion and large surface area on Al2O3 support was developed. The described method can be considered green, since the only byproducts are water and NaCl. The disinfecting properties of the prepared photocatalyst were evaluated using E. coli cells, and the leaching of copper ions was determined using ICP-MS. View this paper
