Photocatalysis became one of the important ways to solve the current global energy crisis and environmental pollution in recent years. It uses solar energy to product hydrogen via water splitting and degenerate the organic pollutants, which is not only low-cost but also environmentally friendly. Cu2O is a p-type oxide semiconductor with the band gap of 2.0—2.2eV based on its size and shape. Therefore Cu2O can adsorb the visible part of the sunlight and has a potential application in the photocatalytic field. In this review, we introduce the structural characteristics of CuO, which contains three-dimensional Cu2O networks and special band structure. Then, the modification of Cu2O including doping and coupling are described. Furthermore, the researches on the water splitting and the degeneration of organic compounds using Cu2O and modified Cu2O photocatalysts are discussed. The keys which inhibit the photocatalytic efficiency of Cu2O are the recombination of the photo-excitated electrons and holes as well as the photo corrosion of Cu2O. In the end, the ideas on further research based on the problems of Cu2O as the photocatalysts are presented.
