Abstract Photocatalysis is an environmentally-friendly technology that can effectively solve the problems of environmental pollution and energy shor-tage, and has wide application prospects. Its basic principle is that semiconductor catalysts are stimulated under light irradiation to produce many active species with strong redox ability, which can be used for pollutant degradation, hydrogen production, and chemical synthesis. The n-type semiconductor graphite-like phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has the characteristics of stable and porous structure, and good visible-light response. It is widely used in the field of photocatalysis. The p-type semiconductor cuprous oxide (Cu2O) has the characteristics of high conductivity and high crystal surface activity, and its energy band position and gap can meet the requirements of photocatalytic hydrolysis to produce hydrogen. However, due to the limitation of the material's own physicochemical properties, the pure g-C3N4 or Cu2O does not exhibit high catalytic performance. The combination of Cu2O and g-C3N4 to form a heterojunction can effectively improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated car-riers and the utilization efficiency of visible light, thereby improving the photocatalytic performance. In this review, the research on Cu2O/g-C3N4 heterojunction photocatalytic materials is summarized, and the formation mechanism and synthesis strategies of heterojunction are reviewed, and the applications of Cu2O/g-C3N4 heterojunction for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, antisepsis, hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, and organic synthesis are discussed, and finally future research directions are prospected.
