Material development has opened new prospects of development photoluminescence and photocatalysis devices highly efficient which presented a particular relevance for reduction of effluent pollution from both industrial sources. Among the promising technological applications materials, the semiconductors ZnO and CuO stand out, due to a good performance of photocatalytic and optical properties. In this work, zinc oxide and copper oxide resins have been synthesized by polymeric precursors method, being deposited in multilayers on a silicon substrate, using the spin coating technique. The resins have been deposited in 6 layers ZnO/CuO; CuO/ZnO; CuO/CuO and ZnO/ZnO and, they have been heattreated with temperatures 400ºC and 500ºC. The specimens were characterized by Xray diffraction (DRX), UV/VIS spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy with field emission (MEV-FEG) and an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The results of the X-ray analysis confirmed that there has been insufficient chemical interaction to form secondary stages among the oxides, in other words, multilayers have been formed. Absorption spectra UV/VIS characterized the thin as semiconductors, indicating optical gap from 1,53 eV to 3,35 eV. Scanning electron microscopy with field emission (MEV-FEG) showed films are homogenous and presented average pore size 25nm. Photoluminescent films emissions in multilayers change due to a decrease on the electronic recombination. Results of degradation from the cationic dye methylene blue show that pure films presents a diminished capacity compared to the films in the multilayers; and calcination at rising temperature and the increased of roughness improving catalytic performance of the films. The samples at multilayers CUZN400 and CUZN500 possessed the capability to degrade 98% of the blue dye in 120 minutes of sun exposition without addition of any other reagent to improve the photocatalytic capacity.Acesso AbertoÓxido de zincoÓxido de cobrePrecursores poliméricosFotocatáliseFotoluminescênciaFilmes finosEstudo da atividade fotocatalítica e fotoluminescente de filmes multicamadas de CuO/ZnO depositados por spin coatingdoctoralThesisCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS::ENGENHARIA DE MATERIAIS E METALURGICA
