Abstract

An air-stable copper-phenylacetylide nanobelt is synthesized and applied in organic pollutants elimination under visible light. Its versatile activity and reusability indicate it is a promising photocatalyst, arising from a band gap of 2.3 eV and the energetically favored electron transfer processes. The tunable structures and properties endow copper-based coordination polymers a prosperous prospect.
