“…Heating directly leads to synthesize copper oxide NWs on the surface of a copper substrate, either as a foil [10][11][12][13][14][15], a wire [10], a grid [10], a thin film [25], or nanoparticles [26].…”

Copper oxide nanowires (CuO NWs) were synthesized by thermally oxidizing copper foils at various heating rates. It has been shown that both monoclinic CuO and cubic Cu2O phases were grown on the copper surface with NW diameters of almost 200 nm for all samples. While NWs were shown to be dense for low heating rates, they end up being broken for quick heating. The underlying growth mechanism was described basing on a detailed comprehensive study, and the effect of the heating rate was explained by considering the thermal shock effect and in-plane tensile stresses on curved surfaces. This study contributes to the research for suitable methods for the use of recyclable metals in technological applications. In particular, copper oxide NWs were deposited, for the first time, on FTO/glass substrates, and the optical characterization revealed that this method is a promising way to improve the surface contact for solar cells and catalytic applications.

“…These structural characteristics have an important role in many optoelectronic applications. Owing to these versatile properties and diverse applications, many methods have been developed to prepare CuO powder including pulsed laser deposition [6], thermal oxidation [7], ultrasonic spray pyrolysis [8], chemical bath deposition [9], microwave [10], sol-gel [11], electro-deposition [12], sputtering [13], solvothermal [14 ], solid-state reaction [15 ], surfactant templating method [16] solution-phase route [17], and hydrothermal [18]. Of course the great diversity of applications needs the distinct morphological and functional CuO structures.…”

In this research, CuO powder was prepared by low temperature hydrothermal method. Copper (II) nitrate trihydrate (Cu (NO3)2.3H2O) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were used as the starting precursors. The final pH value of the mixed solution was adjusted to 9 by 4M NaOH and treated at 100 oC and 200 oC for 4 and 6 h. The black fine powder was obtained after dried at 80 oC for 4 h. The phase was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). A single phase of monoclinic structure of CuO powder prepared by low temperature hydrothermal method at 200 oC for 4 and 6 h was obtained without calcination step. The morphology and particle size were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The morphology was flower-like in shape and the average particle size in range of 0.3×0.7 μm. The element composition was indicated by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). The chemical compositions showed the characteristic X-ray energy of copper (Kα = 0.95 keV) and oxygen (Kα = 0.53 keV). The functional group was indentified by fourier transform spectrophotometry (FTIR). The wavenumber at 433-531 cm-1 was corresponded to vibration of Cu-O stretching.
