title: Controllable synthesis of Cu-based nanocrystals in ODA solvent.
abstract: We exploited a solution-based route for preparation of Cu, Cu(2)O, Cu(3)N, and Cu(2)S nanocrystals, that is, direct thermal decomposition of copper salts (Cu(NO(3))(2), CuSO(4)) in octadecylamine (ODA) solvent, which is a novel and ingenious chemical process.
