Abstract: | This paper reports well-aligned arrays of CuO nanoplatelets synthesized through a hydrothermal route without template's assistance. The surface of well-aligned arrays of CuO nanoplatelets looks like a wall. These nanoplatelets, possessing four clear edges, are 50-80 nm in thickness, 150-250 nm in width, and 0.8-1.5 microm in length. Electron microscopic detection shows that the nanoplatelet grows along the 010] direction. The Ostwald ripening mechanism has been used to describe the growth of CuO nanoplatelets. In addition, the optic and electrochemical properties of as-obtained products have been discussed. And the arrays of CuO nanoplatelets exhibit the blue shift in UV-visible spectra, a slow capacity fading rate, and a relatively high Coulombic efficiency in charge-discharge process. |
