Peanut-shaped nanoribbon bundle superstructures of malachite and copper oxide

CuO nanostructures prepared by a chemical method

“…CuO nanorods were also prepared by thermal decomposition [6] or dehydration [7] of Cu(OH) 2 . CuO nanoribbons obtained from sacrificial templates of Cu 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 [8,9] and Cu 2 Cl(OH) 3 [10] were also reported. CuO nanorods and nanoribbons were also synthesized at moderate temperature (77-82 1C) in water-ethanol solutions [11].…”

“…Its interesting properties make it an important material for a variety of practical applications, such as catalysis, batteries, solar energy conversion, gas sensing, and field emission. A number of different fabrication techniques were reported for CuO nanostructures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Synthesis of spherical structures consisting of self-assembled CuO nanoribbons was reported [1].…”

Facile preparation photocatalytically active CuO plate-like nanoparticles from brochantite

“…The Cu 2 (OH) 3 NO 3 were converted to CuO porous nanoribbons [25]. The Cu 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 have been used for preparation CuO peanut-shaped nanoribbons [26] and hierarchical sphere-like structures [27].…”

Great influence of a small amount of capping agents on the morphology of SnS particles using xanthate as precursor

“…A variety of complex structures, especially threedimensional (3D) self-assembling patterns of inorganic crystals with naturally inspired morphologies such as flower-like [1,2], dendritic-like [3,4], sheaf-like [5], peanut-like (or dumbbell-like) [6][7][8][9][10][11] and olivary [12] structures have been produced. Most of the patterns were organized by nanorods or zero-dimensional nanoparticles as building units.…”
