The photosterilization of Escherichia coli was examined on CuO/CoFe2O4-TiO2 thin films under a xenon lamp irradiation. The film was characterized by XRD, and the morphology was observed by SEM. Disinfection data indicated that CuO/CoFe2O4-TiO2 composite photocatalysts have the much better photocatalytic activity than CuO/CoFe2O4 and TiO2. The optimized composition of the nanocomposites has been found to be CuO/CoFe2O4: mTio2=3:7, with loadings ranging from 790 to 1400 mg/m2.
