Environment-modulated crystallization of Cu2O and CuO nanowires by electrospinning and their charge storage properties

This article reports the synthesis of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) and cupric oxide (CuO) nanowires by controlling the calcination environment of electrospun polymeric nanowires and their charge storage properties. The Cu2O nanowires showed higher surface area (86 m2 g−1) and pore size than the CuO nanowire...
