Herein, a wet chemical epitaxial growth method was employed to fabricate a cactus-like CuFeO₂/ZnO heterojunction for the photocatalytic reduction of benzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol. The 1D ZnO nanorods in the heterojunction make contact with the 2D CuFeO₂ nanoflakes at the atomic level, therefore providing a fast charge transfer channel along the direction parallel to the CuFeO₂c-axis, leading to efficient charge separation and improved photocatalytic performance.

湿式化学外延生长仙人掌状CuFeO2 / ZnO异质结以改善光催化作用。

在此，采用湿式化学外延生长法来制备仙人掌状的CuFeO ₂ / ZnO异质结，以将苯甲醛光催化还原为苯甲醇。异质结中的1D ZnO纳米棒在原子水平上与2D CuFeO ₂纳米薄片接触，因此沿着平行于CuFeO ₂ c轴的方向提供了快速的电荷转移通道，从而导致有效的电荷分离和改善的光催化性能。
