Abstract
[ $Cu_2O$ ] and Cu have been synthesized from the layered organic-inorganic hybrid, $Cu_2(OH)_3(CH_3COO){\cdot}H_2O$, assisted by microwave irradiation. $Cu_2O$ is formed in aqueous glucose solution, while metallic Cu is formed in ethylene glycol by reduction of $Cu_2(OH)_3(CH_3COO){\cdot}H_2O$. The influence of microwave irradiation time and concentration of glucose on $Cu_2O$ particles formation and growth has been examined. The morphologies of $Cu_2O$ particles change from spheres with a few fm size to nanowires with diameter of 40 nm as increasing the microwave irradiation times.
