Abstract

Copper oxide nanowires and nanoparticles were fabricated through electrospinning followed by calcinations in different heating conditions. It was found that the solution viscosity and environment humidity had great impact on the morphologies of precursor nanowires, and the parameters of heat treatment, including final temperature and heating rate, significantly affected the product morphologies.
