Self-assembled Cube-like Copper Oxide Derived from a Metal-Organic Framework as a High-Performance Electrochemical Supercapacitive Electrode Material.

ABSTRACT: Interest in pseudocapacitive materials, especially cuprous oxide, has grown owing to its various advantageous properties and application as electrode materials in the energy storage devices. The work presented here, a cubic Cu₂O framework was synthesized using a simple and one-step modified polyol-assisted (metal-organic framework) solvothermal method. The structural configuration was rationalized by systematically studying the effect of the reaction time on the morphology and growth of the Cu₂O. In addition, a range of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques was employed to further characterize the obtained cubic Cu₂O. The morphological effect on the electrochemical supercapacitive performance of the obtained cubic Cu₂O was also examined by cyc
