Preparation, characterization, and electrochemical application of mesoporous copper oxide

Mesoporous CuO was successfully synthesized via thermal decomposition of CuC2O4 precursors. These products had ring-like morphology, which was made up of nanoparticles with the average diameter of 40 nm. The electrochemical experiments showed that the mesoporous CuO decreased the overvoltage of the electrode and increased electron transference in the measurement of dopamine.
