Abstract
This paper describes a vapor-phase approach to the facial synthesis of cupric oxide (CuO) nanowires supported on the surfaces of various copper substrates that include grids, foils, and wires. A typical procedure simply involved the thermal oxidation of these substrates in air and within the temperature range from 400 to 700 °C. Electron microscopic studies indicated that these nanowires had a controllable diameter in the range of 30−100 nm with lengths of up to 15 μm by varying the temperature and growth time. Electron diffraction and high-resolution TEM studies implied that each CuO nanowire was a bicrystal divided by a (111) twin plane in its middle along the longitudinal axis. A possible mechanism was also proposed to account for the growth of these CuO nanowires.
