In this study, we used electrochemical deposition to prepare titanium dioxide/cuprous oxide composite electrodes and applied in solar hydrogen system. The composite electrodes demonstrate the photo-electrochemical effect in water during the visible light irradiation. Two kinds of cuprous oxide electrodes in different crystalline, faceted and dendritic structures, were prepared by electrochemical deposition. After analysis, modification of titanium dioxide electrodes can enhance the photo-electrochemical performance. Cuprous oxide of faceted crystal is a p-type semiconductor; whereas, the dendritic crystal is a n-type semiconductor. Both types of the cuprous oxide samples can absorb visible light. Furthermore, the titanium dioxide / cuprous oxide composite electrode can improve the photo-electrochemical performance in the visible light irradiation, compared to titanium dioxide electrodes.
