Synthesis of nanostructures of copper compounds and their hybridisation with titanate nanosheets

It has been suggested that the main force in decomposition of copper hydroxy salts to CuO in the course of CBD process may be related with a strain, which exists between the CuO nanoparticles on the modified glass substrate and the deposited copper hydroxy salt. The decomposition reaction of copper hydroxy salts in the solid phase may be accelerated by a strain. The influence of the strain on the morphology of CuO nanostructures is demonstrated on the basis of the basic copper nitrate salt hybridised with titanate nanosheets.
