Abstract

This paper reports that the radial structure cupric oxide microspheres are synthesized by thermal oxidat ion of copper thin films. The films a re deposited on indium tin oxides conducting glass by electric plating. The radial structure cupric oxide microspheres are characterized using the s canning electron microscope. The results show that the nanowires are about 60 nm in diameter and 2 μm in length. The diameter of the microspheres is about 4 μm. Among the conditions tested, the best condition for preparing the radial structure cupric oxide microspheres is 350 oC for 4 hours. Furtherm ore, the possible growth mechanism of the radial structure cupric oxide microspheres is discussed..
