Morphology and structure of Cu<sub>2</sub>O photocatalyst are analyzed by SEM, XRD and N<sub>2</sub> sorption technique. The catalytic performances and reaction kinetics of Cu<sub>2</sub>O photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) are investigated. The toxicity effect of Cu<sub>2</sub>O photocatalyst on yeast <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em> is also studied. The results show pure Cu<sub>2</sub>O photocatalyst with truncated octahedron morphology is obtained and demonstrates good potential on degradation of MB. The degree of MB degradation is improved significantly in the presence of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, and the optimum H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2 </sub>concentration is 1.3 wt%. The degradation rate constant decreases as the initial MB concentration increases, and the degradation reaction can be represented by pseudo-first-order kinetics model. Cu<sub>2</sub>O photocatalyst shows a good reusability and slight limited growth rate of <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>, suggesting it can serve as an effective and recyclable photocatalyst.</p> </div> <p> </p> </p></abstract><publication_date><month>09</month><day>11</day><year>2014</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>578</first_page><last_page>586</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_01340</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.001340</doi><timestamp>1715094439</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_01340</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
