N2 - Speciation of copper in the CuO/TiO2 thin film (synthesized by the doctor-blade deposition method) during photocatalytic decomposition of methylene blue has been studied by in situ X-ray absorption near-edge structural (XANES) spectroscopy. During the UV/VIS radiation (90 min), in the presence of methylene blue, a decrease of Cu(II) and an increases of Cu(0) and Cu(I) fractions in the CuO/TiO2 thin film are observed by in situ XANES. The r-space Fourier transformation EXAFS (extend X-ray absorption fine structural) spectra also show that the bond distance of Cu-O in the thin film is decreased by 0.03 Å during photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue.
