Facile synthesis of porous copper nanobelts and their catalytic performance

Electrochemical Deposition and Etching of Quasi-Two-Dimensional Periodic Membrane Structure

“…Micro-nano materials refer to multi-scale composite materials in the scale of micron to nanometer, which have mesoscopic characteristics and span the macro and micro worlds on the length scale, showing excellent quantum size effects, surface and interface effects of micro-nano materials, and have potential application value in many fields. Compared with other micro-nano metals, copper based micro-nano materials have attracted much attention because of their abundant raw materials, low price and excellent physical and chemical properties which are different from macroscopic materials, which are often used in electrocatalysts, electronic circuits, sensors and surface-enhanced Raman scattering [1][2][3][4]. In particular, they provide the possibility for the construction of non-enzymatic glucose sensors due to their direct electrooxidation effect on some small molecular organic compounds [5,6], which would alleviate the problems of enzymatic biosensors, such as lack of stability, low repeatability, poor thermal and chemical stability, and sensitivity to pH, temperature and humidity [7,8].…”
