Differences between Cuprous Oxide and Copper Oxide
Cuprous oxide and copper oxide are two common oxides of copper, and they differ significantly in their chemical and physical properties and application areas. In terms of color, Cuprous Oxide is usually brick red or brownish red in color, and Copper Oxide is usually black or dark blue in color. In terms of density, Cuprous oxide is approximately 5.85 g/cm³and Copper oxide is approximately 6.31 g/cm³. Cuprous oxide has good photocatalytic activity and is commonly used in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and water decomposition for hydrogen production. Copper oxide can also be used for photocatalysis, but its photocatalytic activity is usually not as good as cuprous oxide.
