Well-aligned arrays of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanowires were synthesized through the reduction of Cu(CH3COO)2 by ethylene glycol (EG) without the assistance of externally introduced template. The panorama of well-aligned arrays of Cu2O nanowires looks like a biscuit. These Cu2O nanowires are ∼30 nm in diameter. A systematic investigation has been carried out to understand the factors influencing the phase composition and Cu2O morphologies.
