TiO2 nanotubes were modified with Cu, AgCu, Bi nanoparticles via gamma radiolysis.
Excessive amount of deposited metal decreased photocatalytic activity.
AgCu-modified samples were more active than Cu-modified (with the same Cu content).
AgCu nanoparticles exist in a core(Ag)-shell(Cu) form.
Examined photocatalysts were resistant towards photocorrosion processes.
