Morphology, size, and chemical composition of the prepared Cu2O nanoparticles were analyzed by SEM, PXRD, and ATR-IR. We discovered that the chemical composition of the Cu2O nanoparticles remained unaffected by the synthesis temperature. However, morphology and size of the nanoparticles showed a strong temperature dependency. This could be attributed to the temperature induced formation of cupric oxide (CuO) species from the copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2 ) precursor which also functions as copper precursor for the Cu2O nanoparticle growth. The cupric oxide species was determined to be the main cause for the formation of micrometer sized particles, whereas with the Cu(OH)2 precursor species for the Cu2O nanoparticles nanocubes with smaller edge lengths as well as octahedrons were obtained.}, language = {en} } @article{SchwarzPastoetterTranetal., author = {Schwarz, Tobias and Past{\"o}tter, Angelina and Tran, T.
