A Simple Method to Control the Growth of Copper Oxide Nanowires for Solar Cells and Catalytic Applications

<div>SEM images for the sample synthesized at 5°C/min (left)- a: dilute island; b: NWs finished being broken; and c: dense island; the sample synthesized at 15°C/min (right). The lack of homogeneity and the NWs breaking are caused by the thermal shock-induced in-plane tensile stresses.</div>
