Abstract
A simple hydrothermal route was developed to synthesize CuO three-dimensional (3 D) hierarchical microspheres with average diameter of about 3 μm. The formation of CuO hierarchical microspheres involves in two stages: tiny nanoplates attached side by side first constitute 2 D nanosheets via an orientation attachment growth mode. Then as-formed sheets assemble orderly and align radially from the center through a layer-by-layer growth style so as to form well-fined microspheres with a multilayered structure. A systematic investigation was carried out to understand the factors influencing the CuO morphology. The quantity of PEG played crucial roles in the formation of CuO hierarchical structures. The possible growth mechanism was identified to explain the formation of CuO architectures herein.
