This article is published with open access at S Highlights · Non-spherical Cu@CuS yolk–shell structures with different morphologies, including octahedral, truncated octahedral, and cuboctahedral shapes, are successfully obtained using a strategy combining shell sulfidation and core dispropor- tionation reaction. · The as-prepared Cu@CuS structures exhibited clearly remarkable photocatalytic performance. Abstract Non-spherical Cu@CuS yolk–shell structures are contributes to improvement in the photocatalytic properties successfully obtained using Cu2O cube templates in a pro- of these materials. The application of these Cu@CuS struc- cess combining rapid surface sulfidation followed by dis- tures indeed shows clearly improved photocatalytic proportionation of the Cu2O core upon treatment with a performance. hydrochloric acid solution. By employing the above method, Cu@CuS yolk–shell structures with different morphologies, including octahedral, truncated octahedral, and cuboctahe- HCl Cu@CuS Cu O Cu O@CuS 2 2 dral shapes, can be synthesized.
