title: Copper-based nanostructures: promising antibacterial agents and photocatalysts.
abstract: Porous Cu/C composites and CuO nanostructures can be easily synthesized from coordination precursors between Cu(2+) and glycine, which are obtained simply by adding ethanol as a poor solvent into a Cu(2+) and glycine solution, and verified to be potential antibacterial agents and photocatalysts.
