Microemulsion-assisted Self-assembly of CuO Micro-cog Film on Copper Substrate and Their Applications in Lithium-ion Battery
(0) Over the past several years, new synthetic strategies to the self-assembly of nanostructures with structural and morphological hierarchy have generated a variety of opportunities for the spontaneous bottom-up formation of complex inorganic materials. Significantly, assembling such complex nanostructures on functional substrates such as an electrode surface, might not only enhance the collective response to external stimuli originating for example from electromagnetic fields or chemical species, but also enable synergetic multifunctionalities to be integrated more readily into devices. Here we describe a microemulsion-assisted self-assembly to the fabrication of copper oxide thin films on the surface of copper foils. We demonstrate that formation of the hierarchical superstructure makes copper oxide exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance. Our results indicate that a fabrication strategy based on self-assembly within confined reaction media, rather than direct synthesis in bulk solution, offers a new approach to the design of electrode interfaces for potential development in a wide range of material applications.
