Abstract

Large-scaled area and aligned copper oxide nanowires have been synthesized by a vapor-phase approach to the facial synthesis of copper oxide nanowires supported on the surface of a copper gasket. The effects of annealing temperature and time were investigated. Long and aligned nanowires can only formed within a narrow temperature range from 400 to <TEX>$500^{\circ}C$</TEX> for 4 hrs. Annealing copper gasket in static air produces large-area, uniform, but not well vertically aligned nanowires along the copper gasket surface. The surface of copper gasket is converted into bicrystal CuO nanowires was observed after the copper gasket is annealed under static air condition.
