Single-crystalline CuO nanobelts fabricated by a convenient route
A reverse micelle-assisted route for preparing CuO nanobelts from precursor Cu(OH)(4)(2-) is reported. The reverse micelles were used as microreactors, which led to anisotropic growth crystals during a simple solvothermal process. The formation conditions of the CuO nanobelts were also studied.
