Free-Standing Copper(II) Oxide Nanotube Arrays through an MOCVD Template Process

Abstract

Ordered homogeneous arrays of copper (II) oxide nanotubes have been fabricated through an MOCVD template route. SEM images of the CuO nanotubes, after removing the template, indicate the formation of well-ordered nanotube arrays. There is evidence that nanotubes are opened on both sides.
