The novel method utilizes sporopollenin, a naturally abundant waste product, as a scaffold for the growth of copper oxide ...

A new copper-based catalyst with star-like Nano structure has been developed by scientists through the controlled growth of copper oxide nanostructures on a sporopollenin template offers a pathway to ...

Initially, the fabricated copper (Cu) NWs have low crystallinity and form a Cu oxide layer on the surface, hindering interaction with oxygen. The annealing process reshapes the Cu NWs from a ...
