“…To make sure the thorough penetration of the electrolyte, all cells were left to stand for 12 h before being measured. 110), ( 111), ( 111), ( 202), ( 020), ( 202), ( 113), ( 311), ( 220), (311), and (004) crystal plane of monolithic CuO phase respectively, which indicates the good crystallinity of CuO (Huang et al, 2011;Chen et al, 2015;Shi et al, 2016;Yuan et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2018;Xu et al, 2019;Murphin Kumar et al, 2020;Li et al, 2021c;Trukawka et al, 2021). From the XRD patterns of CuO/Cu 2 O/ Cu nanocomposites shown in Figure 2B, we can see that the asprepared sample comprises CuO, Cu 2 O, and Cu phases.…”
