FIG. S3. UV-Vis spectra for CuO/TiO2 thin films (a), and differential spectra versus rutile TiO2 substrate (b). The
steep optical absorption around 420 nm (panel a) is attributed to the band to band transition in rutile TiO2
corresponding to its bandgap of 3.0 eV. The differential spectra (panel b) show absorption just below the energy level
of rutile TiO2 absorption edge. Notably, because the wavelength of the blue light-emitting diode (LED) used in the
present photo-reduction experiment ranged from 425 to 530 nm, this LED cannot excite electrons in the bare rutile
TiO2 but can excite electrons both in CuO thick films and in thin CuO films on TiO2 substrate.
