We fabricated three-dimensional copper oxide structure by holographic lithography and electroless deposition. A five-beam interference pattern defined a woodpile structure of SU-8. The surface modification of SU-8 structure was achieved by multilayer coating of polyelectrolyte, which is critical for activating the surface for the reduction of copper. Copper was deposited onto the surface of the structure by electroless deposition, and subsequent calcinations removed the SU-8 structure and simultaneously oxidized the copper into copper oxide. The porous copper oxide structure was used as a photoelectrochemical electrode. Because of the highly porous structure, our structure showed higher photocurrent efficiency.
