The synthesis of cuprous oxide nanowires in the presence of oxygen using a hot tube thermal evaporation method

Cuprous oxide nanowires have been synthesized by heating copper foil in the presence of oxygen rich environment using a hot tube vacuum thermal evaporation method. The effect of growth parameters such as growth time, temperature and oxidative environment on the morphology of the nanowires is investi...
