Heterojunction composites based on n-type TiO2 nanotubes arrays (TNAs) coupled with p-type Cu2O nanoparticles were synthesized using a square wave voltammetry deposition method for in situ deposition of Cu2O nanoparticles onto the inner surfaces and interfaces of TNAs. The prepared samples were char...
