Facile synthesis and shape evolution of oleic acid decorated Cu2O microcrystals

- A facile synthetic method of oleic acid decorated Cu2O microcrystals was developed.
- The synthetic method does not require a reducing agent to attend.
- The synthetic method enhances antioxidant properties of Cu2O and dispersity in paraffin.
- The phase structure and morphology of Cu2O microcrystals were investigated.
- Shape evolution of oleic acid decorated Cu2O microcrystals was studied.
