Synthesis of Cu(OH)2 and CuO Nanoribbon Arrays on a Copper Surface Xiaogang Wen, Weixin Zhang, and Shihe Yang* Department of Chemistry, Institute of Nano Science and Technology, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong Received February 19, 2003. In Final Form: April 11, 2003 Cu(OH)2 and CuO nanoribbon arrays aligned approximately perpendicular to copper substrate surfaces are synthesized by the solution-treatment and subsequent heat-treatment processes. The Cu(OH)2 nanoribbons are fabricated by a simple coordination self-assembly method in an alk
