Description
A simple, rapid and eco-friendly method has been introduced to prepare suboxide CuxO(x = 8, 64) nanocrystals on multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites. The structural characterization by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction methods indicates that CuxO(x = 8, 64) can be uniformly grown on the sidewalls of carbon nanotube under direct copper deposition at room temperature. Our results suggest that the growth method of nano-CuxO (x = 8, 64) crystals could be used to synthesize other nano-metal suboxides, such as MxO (M=metal; x = 1, 2, 4, 8 and 64)
