Synthesis of Carambola-Like CuO via a Chemical Bath Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

By a simple chemical bath method, new carambola-like structured CuO had been fabricated in a solution composed of Cu(NO3)2, NaOH and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA). The formation of such structure was caused by in-situ dehydration and separation of flower-like petals composed of several pieces of copper hydroxide sheets. The corresponding electrochemical reactivity of structured CuO has been investigated, which demonstrated the potential application for lithium ion batteries.
