Abstract

Cupric Oxide (CuO) nanofibers were produced through the subsequent electropolishing and anodization of copper in a solution of NaOH and (NH₄)₂S₂O₈. The optimum setting for electropolishing of copper was found to be 10A/dm² and 10 mins. Also, it was observed electropolishing improved the uniformity of size and length of the fibers. The results indicated that a decrease in length, an increase in density and an increase in disorder were seen as the anodization current density was decreased.
