Abstract
Cu<sub>2</sub>O/TNA/Ti photoanode showed spectral response outperformed Cu<sub>2</sub>O/Ti and Cu<sub>2</sub>O/FTO photocathodes. Cu<sub>2</sub>O/TNA/Ti showed better spectral response than that of TNA/Ti, ascribed to UV-visible light absorption of Cu<sub>2</sub>O, not to charge separation enhancement.
