Spontaneous self-assembly of Cu2O@PPy nanowires and anisotropic crystals.
The hydrothermal reduction of commercial CuO by Py yields Cu(2)O@PPy nanowires, branched nanostructures and bigger anisotropic crystals, which form spontaneously through oriented attachment in the absence of any capping agent or template.
