In view of recent advances in photodegradation of antibiotics, low cost and stable photocatalyst remain rare. In this article, shape-controlled Cu 2 O@CuS nanocubes with the larger specific surface area were successfully prepared via a simple template-engaged strategy. Cu 2 O nanocubes were synthesized through a reduction method as original templates, the core-shelled Cu 2 O@CuS nanocubes were formed by sulphuration with Na 2 S as sulphur source, and the Cu 2 O core can be incompletely removed by Na 2 S 2 O 3  to generate the Cu 2 O@CuS nanoboxes. Herein, hierarchical nanoboxes with two-layered Cu 2 O@CuS were used as photocatalyst materials for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC). The obtained nanocubes manifested high specific surface area (39.65 m 2  g −1 ) and large pore volume (12.3 cm 3  g −1 ). The degradation performance for TC was investigated in detail, including the effect of parameters such as photocatalyst, pH and catalyst dosage. The results indicated that degradation efficiencies were higher than 90% under visible light. Moreover, the degradation efficiency was 71% after six times.
